PREFACE. 


IHE  purpose  of  this  work  is  to  collate,  preserve  and  sum- 
marize for  the  student,  scholar,  historian,  librarian  and 
collector,  the  literature  of  Ohio  in  any  wise  connected 

'    with   the   Civil   War,   meaning  thereby   all   permanent 

publications  on  that  subject,  either  in  book  or  pamphlet  form. 
So  far,  therefore,  as  years  of  persistent  investigation  and  patient 
reading  could  accomplish,  I  have  collected  in  these  pages  a  bib- 
liography, the  scope  of  which  embraces  (i)  the  publications  of 
Ohio  writers  concerning  the  Civil  War,  and  (2)  the  writings 
of  others  in  relation  to  Ohio  in  the  Civil  War. 

In  the  broader  fields  of  history,  biography  and  science, 
scholars  have  been  more  or  less  successful  in  listing  the  sources 
of  published  information  on  those  subjects  in  bibliographies,  but 
this  work  is  the  first  attempt  to  systematize  and  preserve  the  lit- 
erature of  the  Civil  War  of  any  State  of  the  Union. 

The  position  which  Ohio  occupied  during  the  eventful 
period  of  the  Civil  War  was  one  of  great  dominance  and  in- 
fluence. All  the  power  and  treasure  of  her  people  were  cast 
with  the  Union.  She  furnished  hundreds  of  thousands  of  her 
young  men,  and  millions  of  her  dollars  in  its  defense.  The  ac- 
tivity of  the  sword  and  the  generosity  of  the  purse  were  equalled 
by  the  facility  of  the  pen,  and  as  a  result  there  has  descended 
to  this  generation  a  mass  of  writing  on  every  phase,  question 
and  event  connecting  Ohio  with  the  Civil  War.  The  literature 
of  this  important  epoch  is  evidenced  by  the  official  reports  of  the 
State,  the  special  and  general  historical  writings  of  this  period, 
the  speeches  in  Congress  and  political  pamphlets,  as  well  as  the 
published  utterances  of  the  pulpit,  press  and  rostrum.  These, 
together  with  the  subsequent  publications  on  this  subject,  con- 
stitute the  Civil  War  Literature  of  Ohio. 

A  classification  of  this  literature  as  contained  in  this  work 
can  be  summarized  in  the  following  divisions: 

I.  Official  Documents.  In  these  are  included  the  Inaugural 
Addresses,  the  Annual  and  Special  Messages  of  Governors  Den- 

(V) 


VI  PREFACE 

nison,  Tod,  Brough.  Anderson  and  Cox,  covering  the  period  from 
1861  to  1866  inclusive,  during  which  time  there  was  a  constant 
reference  to  matters  pertaining  to  the  Civil  War.  In  connection 
with  these  will  be  found  special  reports  by  various  officers  and 
commissions  made  to  the  Governors,  and  by  them  submitted  to 
the  Legislature  with  their  messages.  Also  the  Reports  of  the 
Adjutant  Generals  for  1861-1868,  the  Reports  of  the  Surgeon 
Generals,  Commissary  Generals  and  Quartermaster  Generals ; 
also  the  Reports  of  Military  Commissions  and  Committees,  to- 
gether with  the  various  Reports  of  Committees  of  the  General 
Assembly  relative  to  military  matters.  The  Reports  of  the  Com- 
missioner of  Common  Schools  wherein  reference  is  made  to  Ohio 
in  the  Civil  War  are  also  included.  Also  the  complete  roster  of 
the  troops  furnished  the  Union  Army  by  organizations,  in  which 
are  given  the  regimental  records  and  lists  of  battles  participated 
in.  Also  the  official  reports  of  campaigns  and  battles  by  Com- 
manders in  which  Ohio  troops  took  part,  and  publications  of 
the  National  Government  referring  to  Ohio  soldiers.  This 
official  literature  constitutes  the  basic  and  resource  fund  of  all 
historical  information  concerning  Ohio's  relation  to  the  great 
conflict. 

II.  Army  Organizations.  Histories  of  brigades,  regiments 
and  companies  give  the  narratives  of  the  participants  in  the  cam- 
paigns, battles  and  military  movements  of  which  they  formed  a 
part.  They  are  written  from  a  personal  standpoint  of  observa- 
tion, and  are  necessarily  restricted,  but  taken  as  a  whole,  they 
form  a  valuable  fund  of  information  for  the  historian.  They 
are  the  most  human  descriptions  in  military  literature.  From 
no  other  source  can  the  real  feelings  and  sympathies  of  the 
soldier  be  obtained.  Here  we  find  his  observations  on  camp  life, 
his  individual  experiences  in  battle,  and  the  record  of  his  sur- 
roundings, as  well  as  that  of  his  comrades.  The  actual  con- 
ditions of  army  life  are  more  likely  to  be  found  in  the  writings 
of  the  individual  soldier  than  in  the  formal  and  official  reports 
of  general  commanders.  These  histories,  now  collected  and 
summarized  for  the  first  time,  are  nearly  all  out  of  print,  and 
most  of  them  are  to  be  found  only  in  a  very  few  public  libraries. 
As  a  rule,  they  were  written  solely  for  private  circulation  among 
the  members  of  the  regiment,  and  consequently,  not  copyrighted. 
Some  of  them  were  written  on  the  field,  and  most  of  them  im-

mediately  after  the  war.  Those  of  recent  years,  when  recourse 
to  the  official  records  was  obtainable,  are  generally  more  elaborate 
and  reliable.  Sequentially  connected  with  these  organization 
histories  are  the  proceedings  of  their  reunions,  usually  held  annu- 
ally. Publications  of  this  kind  were  considered  at  the  time  as  of 
trifling  value,  or,  at  best,  of  but  temporary  importance;  as  a 
result,  few  of  them  have  been  spared  from  destruction  or  oblivion. 
Yet  it  is  in  these  pamphlets  that  will  be  found  much  of  the  his- 
tory of  regimental  organizations.  They  are  also  a  pathetic  record 
of  the  decreasing  Grand  Army  that  preserved  the  Union.  As 
years  pass,  they  will  be  more  appreciated  by  the  historian.  If 
the  regiments  of  the  Revolution  had  preserved  their  records  in 
a  similar  manner,  what  a  valuable  contribution  would  have  been 
transmitted  to  posterity ! 

III.  Speeches,  Addresses  and  Sermons.  There  is  no  more 
important  literature  of  the  war  epoch  than  the  utterances  of 
the  statesmen  and  orators  of  that  period.  This  is  especially  true 
of  the  speeches  in  Congress  on  the  questions  of  slavery,  secession 
and  reconstruction.  They  represent  the  conflicting  public  and 
party  opinions  as  expressed  by  the  leaders  of  the  Democratic  and 
Republican  parties.  These  speeches  have  been  preserved,  their 
contents  abstracted  and  history  given.  They  are  valuable  in 
studying  the  relation  Ohio  occupied  to  National  questions  at  this 
time.  In  addition  to  these  Congressional  speeches  will  be  found 
many  made  in  the  General  Assembly  of  Ohio,  as  well  as  addresses 
from  the  lecture  platform  and  the  pulpit,  reflecting  the  various 
opinions  regarding  the  Civil  War. 

IV.  Ohio  Commandery  of  the  Loyal  Legion.  This  organi- 
zation has  been  the  greatest  agency  in  the  State  in  creating,  pre- 
serving and  publishing  the  Civil  War  Literature  of  Ohio.  In 
these  pages  will  be  found  all  its  productions  since  its  organization 
in  1883.  They  consist  principally  of  the  Proceedings  of  the  An- 
nual Dinners,  Papers  read  before  the  Commandery,  Registers  and 
Annual  Circulars.  These  publications  are  fully  annotated,  and 
their  historical  value  indicated. 

V.  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic.  The  literature  of  the 
Ohio  Encampment  is  composed  only  of  the  published  proceedings 
of  the  Annual  Encampments  since  1881.  These  are  all  condensed, 
which,  with  the  annotations,  make  a  continuous  history  of  the 
development  and  growth  of  the  Order  in  Ohio  since  that  time.

They  compose  a  fund  of  information  relative  to  Ohio  in  the  Civil 
War  that  is  invaluable  to  the  reader. 

VI.  Military  History.  Some  of  the  most  important  con- 
tributions to  the  history  of  the  Civil  War  have  been  written  by 
Ohio  writers.  They  consist  of  memoirs,  histories  of  campaigns, 
biographies,  personal  reminiscences,  prison  experiences  and  es- 
capes. They  relate  actual  occurrences,  and  form  a  group  of 
military  literature  that  sheds  great  light  on  the  Civil  War.  Under 
this  head  also  may  be  included  the  reports  of  the  various  com- 
missions appointed  to  mark  the  positions  of  Ohio  regiments  on 
the  battlefields  of  Shiloh,  Chickamauga,  Antietam,  Vicksburg  and 
Gettysburg.  In  these  volumes  are  complete  histories  of  the  battles 
named,  and  also  the  part  taken  by  Ohio  troops. 

VII.  Miscellaneous.  In  addition  to  the  foregoing  there  will 
be  found  a  list  of  works  of  fiction,  essays,  poetry,  patriotic  ad- 
dresses delivered  since  the  War,  periodicals,  letters,  trials  and 
miscellaneous  literature. 

In  this  condensation  of  the  contents  of  the  following  pages, 
the  reader  who  refers  to  them  can  have  little  idea  of  the  labor 
necessary  to  pursue,  discover  and  gather  together  the  titles 
therein.  Only  those  who  have  labored  in  the  field  of  bibliography 
can  appreciate  the  difficulties  and  magnitude  of  the  task.  Its 
value,  I  am  sure,  will  be  apparent  to  all  users  of  books,  and  it  is 
hoped  that  it  may  receive  their  approval  and  recognition.  As  a 
pioneer  work  in  a  new  field,  it  doubtless  has  its  imperfections 
and  omissions ;  but,  notwithstanding  this,  as  a  contribution  to 
American  historical  bibliography  relating  to  the  connection  of  a 
great  State  with  the  Civil  War,  its  usefulness  will  no  doubt  be 
conceded. 

The  basis  of  this  bibliography  is  my  own  private  collection 
of  Civil  War  Literature  of  Ohio,  consisting  of  six  hundred  and 
twenty  titles  of  the  eight  hundred  and  ninety-nine  books  and 
pamphlets  collected  and  annotated  herein.  In  addition,  I  have 
had  recourse  to  the  following  libraries:  Library  of  Congress, 
and  War  Department,  Washington,  D.  C. ;  Ohio  State,  Columbus, 
Ohio;  Western  Reserve  Historical  Society,  Cleveland,  Ohio; 
Ohio  Commandery  of  the  Loyal  Legion,  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  and 
Ohio  Encampment,  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic,  Columbus, 
Ohio. 


PREFACE  IX 

In  view  of  the  variance  in  the  spelling  of  the  names  of  battle- 
fields and  geographical  locations  by  the  authors  of  the  literature 
cited  in  these  pages,  I  have  adopted  as  a  standard  the  names  as 
spelled  in  "The  Alphabetical  List  of  the  Battles  of  the  War  of  the 
Rebellion,"  by  Newton  A.  Strait  (Washington,  D.  C. :  1900.) 
This  valuable  compilation  based  on  "The  Rebellion  Record,"  has 
been  accepted  by  the  Pension  Bureau  as  authority. 

In  this  work  I  have  used  the  abbreviations,  n.  p.,  for  "no 
publisher,"  and  n.  d.,  for  "no  date,"  when  this  information  does 
not  appear  on  the  title  page,  or  could  not  be  obtained. 

The  index,  which  will  be  found  upon  examination,  to  be  in- 
telligently constructed  and  closely  analytical,  is  the  work  of 
Charles  Wells  Reeder,  Assistant  Reference  Librarian  of  the  Ohio 
State  University  Library.

Adjutant  General 

Annual  Report  of  the  Adjutant  General  to  the  Gov- 
ernor of  the  State  of  Ohio,  for  the  year  1861.  Columbus : 
Richard  Nevins,  State  Printer.    1862. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  99. 

The  reports  of  the  Adjutant  General  during  the  War  and 
the  years  immediately  succeeding,  contain  the  official  records 
of  the  organization  of  the  Ohio  army  raised  and  enlisted  in  de- 
fense of  the  Union.  No  proper  or  complete  conception  of  the 
gigantic  labors  engaged  in  by  the  Ohio  authorities  in  making 
preparations  for  war  can  be  had  without  a  full  perusal  of  these 
reports.  The  military  condition  of  the  State  in  April,  1861,  may 
be  conjectured  by  reading  the  following  extract  from  the  Re- 
port for  this  year  by  Adjutant  General  C.  P.  Buckingham: 

"No  one  dreamed  that  a  war  could  arise,  demanding  the 
utmost  energies  of  the  country,  without  a  sufficient  note  of 
warning  to  afford  opportunity  for  at  least  some  preparation. 
Resting  in  this  fancied  security,  the  people  of  Ohio  lost  all  in- 
terest in  military  matters,  so  that  they  not  only  neglected  to 
cultivate  among  themselves  anything  like  military  taste  and  edu- 
cation, but  had  come  to  consider  every  effort  in  that  direction 
as  a  fit  subject  for  ridicule.  Hence,  on  the  breaking  out  of  the 
present  war,  the  State  was  found  to  be  comparatively  without 
arms,  organization  or  discipline,  to  prepare  her  for  the  part  it 
became  her  to  take  in  the  fearful  struggle.  Of  the  many  thou- 
sand muskets  received  by  the  State  from  the  Federal  Govern- 
ment, with  whicli  to  arm  and  drill  the  militia,  nearly  all  had 
been  lost  or  sold  for  a  trifle.  The  cannon  had  been  used  for 
firing  salutes,  and  left  exposed  to  the  weather,  until  rust  and 
decay  had  rendered  them  and  their  equipments  worthless. 


ADJUTANT  GENERAL  6 

"A  few  volunteer  companies  had  been  formed  from  time 
to  time,  and  after  a  spasmodic  existence  for  two  or  three  years, 
most  of  them  had  been  disbanded  or  had  dwindled  to  nothing. 

"Almost  the  entire  organization  of  the  militia  was  merely 
nominal.  Very  many  of  the  high  offices  were  vacant,  and  the 
system,  if  it  could  be  called  so,  had  no  working  power.  The 
only  bright  spots  in  this  melancholy  picture  were,  less  than  a 
dozen  independent  companies  of  Volunteer  Infantry,  and  seven 
or  eight  gun  squads  of  Artillery,  called  by  law,  companies.  Six 
of  these,  called  a  Regiment,  but  really  composing  a  single  Bat- 
tery, under  the  command  of  Col.  James  Bamett,  took  the  field 
at  once  as  then  organized,  and  during  the  three  months'  service, 
proved  most  effiicient  in  the  early  part  of  the  campaign  in  West- 
ern Virginia." 

In  addition  to  the  history  of  the  recruiting  and  organization 
of  the  military  forces,  the  report  shows  on  December  31,  1861, 
the  following  status  of  Ohio  troops :  Infantry  in  the  field,  46 
Regiments ;  full  in  camp,  1 1  Regiments ;  nearly  full,  1 1  Regi- 
ments; organizing,  13  Regiments;  Cavalry  in  the  field,  4  Regi- 
ments, I  Squadron,  4  Independent  Companies ;  full  in  camp, 
4  Regiments,  i  Independent  Company.  Artillery  in  the  field, 
12  Batteries ;  full  in  camp,  8  Batteries ;  organizing,  9  Batteries. 
The  whole  number  of  men  enlisted  in  Ohio  during  the  year 
1861  was  100,224.  This  report  also  contains  a  Register  of  offi- 
cers in  regiments  fully  organized  and  in  the  service  of  the  United 
States. 

The  Reports  of  the  Adjutant  General  of  Ohio  from  1861 
to  1868  inclusive,  are  extremely  scarce,  and  are  now  practically 
beyond  reach  of  private  possession.  While  printed  by  the  thou- 
sands, at  the  time,  they  were  treated,  like  most  official  publica- 
tions, as  junk  or  waste  paper.  As  the  official  history  of  the  part 
Ohio  played  in  the  War  of  the  Rebellion,  they  are  a  necessary 
and  reliable  source  of  information  to  the  student  and  historian 
of  that  period.  The  reports  for  1862-1864  inclusive,  were  also 
printed  in  German. 

Report  made  by  C.  P.  Buckingham,  Adjutant  General.

Adjutant  General 

Annual  Report  of  the  Adjutant  General  to  the  Gov- 
ernor of  the  State  of  Ohio,  for  the  year  ending  December 
31,  1862.  Columbus:  Richard  Nevins,  State  Printer. 
1863. 

Boards.    8  vo.  pp  140. 

This  report  shows  the  great  activities  of  the  year  1862. 
Ohio  was  called  upon  by  President  Lincoln   for  her  quota  of 


4  CIVIL    WAR   LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

f 

three  hundred  thousand  men  July  2,  1862,  and  again,  August 
4,  1862,  for  her  quota  of  a  second  three  hundred  thousand  men. 
Herein  is  contained  the  official  record  of  the  work,  measures  and 
results  in  meeting  these  calls.  Also  the  list  of  officers  of  the 
newly  organized  regiments.  There  is  also  an  "Abstract  of  En- 
rolled Militia  and  Volunteers  and  Drafted  Men  in  Ohio  from 
the  county  returns."  From  this  table  it  appears  that  the  total 
number  of  enrolled  militia  was  425,147 ;  number  of  volunteers 
to  September  i,  1862,  151,301  ;  number  ordered  to  be  drafted, 
20,427,  and  number  of  these  drafted,  12,251. 

On  pp.  126-135  is  given  a  condensed  statement  of  troops 
raised  in  Ohio  in  the  service  of  the  United  States  on  December 
31,  1862,  their  officers  in  command  and  where  serving  at  latest 
advices.  The  grand  total  of  Ohio  organizations  (infantry,  sharp- 
shooters, artillery  and  cavalry)  excluding  drafted  men  not  held, 
was  170,121.  Further  the  Adjutant  General  says:  "In  addition 
to  the  170,121  men  placed  in  the  service  of  her  own  organiza- 
tions, Ohio  has  contributed  very  largely  to  the  Regular  Army, 
and  also  to  the  Navy  and  Gun-Boat  service ;  and  in  several  of 
the  early  Kentucky  and  West  Virginia  Regiments,  the  men  of 
Ohio  constituted  the  main  strength ;  and  to  those  regiments, 
since  they  entered  the  field  recruits  from  this  State  have  been 
drawn  by  friends  and  acquaintances  serving  them.  Indiana  too 
has  complimented  the  Buckeyes  by  consenting  to  receive  many 
hundreds  of  them  into  her  gallant  regiments." 

This  was  a  busy  year  for  the  Adjutant  General's  office  and 
it  is  shown  by  his  report.  First  came  the  work  of  organizing 
the  new  three  months'  regiments;  then  came  the  two  calls  for 
three  hundred  thousand  men  each ;  then  came  the  enrollment  of 
the  entire  militia  of  the  State.  It  afterwards  became  necessary 
to  ascertain  the  military  force  contributed  to  the  Service  of  the 
United  States  from  each  of  the  1,470  election  precincts  of  the 
State  and  to  apportion  the  deficiencies  equitably  among  those 
districts.  Then  came  the  draft,  and  also  the  placing  over  74,000 
new  troops  in  the  field.  The  rebel  raids  called  out  the  famous 
"Squirrel  Hunters."  So  the  year  was  full  of  military  labors 
on  the  part  of  the  State.

ADJUTANT  GENERAL  O 

The  progress  of  the  war  and  the  increased  labors  of  the 
Adjutant  General's  Department  is  clearly  shown  in  the  pages 
of  this  report.  More  voluminous  than  its  predecessors,  it  is  full 
of  information  relating  to  the  patriotic  efforts  of  Ohio  to  support 
the  Union  cause. 

In  addition  to  supplying  troops  for  the  front,  internal  dan- 
gers called  for  prompt  and  vigorous  action  by  the  State.  The 
"Morgan  Raid"  in  July  and  the  attempted  rebel  raid  from  Can- 
ada in  November  are  fully  treated  in  the  report.  It  also  con- 
tains a  complete  list  of  the  Military  Committees  in  each  of  the 
counties  of  the  State  for  1863.  Much  of  the  report  is  taken  up 
with  the  operations  of  the  new  militia  law ;  the  appendix  (pp. 
171-201)  is  devoted  to  explanations  of  the  law,  and  general 
orders  growing  out  of  the  same. 

Up  to  December  31,  1863,  the  total  number  of  Ohio  troops 
who  had  entered  the  United  States  service  was  200,452.  The 
report  gives  a  detailed  recapitulation  of  all  classes  of  troops  en- 
tered. Many  regiments  recruited  in  1862  did  not  complete  their 
organization  until  this  year  and  their  roster  of  officers  is  given 
in  this  report.

By  this  act  the  State  of  Ohio  materially  improved  its  mili- 
tary standing.  Under  it  the  "Enrolled  Militia"  was  abolished 
and  its  officers  considered  as  mustered  out  of  the  service  from 
the  date  of  the  passage  of  this  act.  Under  General  Order  No. 
10,  the  volunteer  militia,  as  organized  under  the  act  of  April 
14,  1863,  was  continued  in  service  under  the  designation  of  the 
"National  Guard".  This  pamphlet  contains,  in  addition  to  the 
act,  the  General  Orders  of  the  Adjutant  General  relating  to  the 
scale  of  organization  of  the  militia  and  various  forms  and  mat- 
ters of  discipline.     B.  R.  Cowen,  Adjutant  General.

The  most  complete  report  of  the  entire  war.  It  chronicles 
the  floodtide  of  military  activity  in  Ohio  when  the  State  was 
puttingf  forth  its  most  strenuous  patriotic  endeavors  in  the  sup- 
port oit  the  Union.  Up  to  December  31,  1864,  the  State  had 
furnished  346,326  men  to  the  service  of  the  United  States.  This 
report  is  crowded  with  information  concerning  recruiting  and 
organizing  regiments ;  gives  a  complete  roster  of  the  National 
Guard;  reports  by  counties  of  the  draft  of  1864;  list  of  appoint- 
ments and  promotions ;  casualties  by  regiments  since  January  i, 
1864;  list  of  county  military  committees  for  1864,  and  orders 
and  correspondence  between  Washington  and  Columbus.  This 
report  is  all  history  of  the  most  important  kind  and  the  facts 
herein  recorded  can  be  found  nowhere  else.  Neither  the  records 
at  Washington,  nor  the  works  of  any  historian  have  yet  given 
a  complete  narrative  of  what  is  herein  furnished.  The  report 
contains  (pp.  254-287)  appendix  which  includes  much  valuable 
information.

The  Adjutant  General  opens  his  report  for  this  year  as 
follows:  "The  war  is  over.  During  the  four  years  through 
which  it  continued,  the  State  of  Ohio  promptly  and  willingly 
contributed  her  share  of  support  to  the  General  Government.  It 
will  be  the  object  of  this  report  not  only  to  show  the  transactions 
of  the  State,  in  a  military  point  of  view,  for  the  past  year,  but  to 
present  a  brief  synopsis  of  the  transactions  of  the  office  during 
the  war,  bringing  the  same  down  to  the  present  date." 

Considerable  space  is  given  to  a  discussion  of  the  necessity 
of  an  improved  militia,  the  experience  of  the  past  four  years 
having  given  the  State  expensive  but  invaluable  lessons.  On 
the  15th  of  April,  1865,  the  State  had  two  hundred  regiments 
in  the  service  of  the  United  States ;  at  the  date  of  the  report 
less  than  twenty  were  in  the  service.  A  list  of  casualties  among 
the  field  officers  of  Ohio  Regiments  is  given,  also  a  list  of  all

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  8. 

A  conservative  speech  calling  for  the  cooler  judgment  of 
both  North  and  South  in  the  approaching  crisis.  William  Allen 
was  a  Democrat  from  Darke  county  and  represented  the  Fourth 
District  in  the  Thirty-Sixth  and  Thirty-Seventh  Congresses.  He 
is  not  to  be  confused  with  U.  S.  Senator  and  Governor  William 
Allen  of  Ross  County.  Mr.  Allen's  speeches  in  Congress  may 
be  taken  as  a  fair  expression  of  the  conservative  Democratic 
opinion  of  the  time.  It  was  opposed  to  secession,  in  favor  of 
any  compromise  so  as  to  preserve  the  Union,  but  when  every- 
thing failed  to  accomplish  this,  it  supported  the  Union  cause.

In  eloquent  periods  and  with  intensely  patriotic  words,  Mr. 
Ames  urged  his  hearers  to  stand  by  President  Lincoln  with  men 
and  money  and  generous  sympathy.  "To  count  that  man  a  pub- 
lic enemy  who  would  break  the  force  of  any  blow  which  is  meant 
to  crush  the  rebellion,  or  who  would  weaken  the  arm  of  any  offi-

quotation  from  Washington's  Farewell  address,  and  the  inside

This  speech  was  deHvered  at  Xenia,  Ohio,  May  2,  1863.  It 
is  an  able  and  eloquent  defense  of  the  Lincoln  administration, 
and  a  denunciation  of  the  course  of  the  South.  It  was  circulated 
extensively  throughout  the  Union  and  was  among  the  noted  ex- 
pressions of  loyalty  for  that  year.  Colonel  Anderson  was  a 
brother  of  Major  Robert  Anderson,  the  hero  of  Fort  Sumter. 
Before  the  war  he  resided  in  Texas  where  he  was  imprisoned 
on  account  of  his  faithfulness  to  the  Union.  He  came  North, 
enlisted  in  the  army  and  was  commissioned  Colonel  of  the  Ninety- 
Third  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry.  He  was  severely  wounded  at 
the  battle  of  Stone  River  and  on  that  account  was  obliged  to  re- 
sign. He  was  nominated  as  Lieutenant  Governor  on  the  Union 
ticket  with  John  Brough  in  1863  and  was  elected.  On  Governor 
Brough's  death  in  1865  he  became  Governor.  He  was  a  polished 
orator  and  scholar,  and  his  writings  and  speeches  give  testimony 
to  that  fact.

during  the  campaign  of  1863,  Col.  Anderson  being  the  Union 
candidate  for  Lieutenant  Governor  on  the  ticket  with  John 
Brough.  This  letter  was  not  only  given  a  wide  circulation  in 
the  Brough- Vallandigham  campaign  in  Ohio  in  1863,  but  was 
disseminated  throughout  the  loyal  states  as  a  powerful  and  pa- 
triotic appeal  for  a  strenuous  prosecution  of  the  war.

ANDERSON    (CHARLES)  11 

Anderson  in  this  message  refers  but  slightly  to  military  matters. 
He  discusses  at  great  length  the  Monroe  Doctrine  and  the  Mex- 
ican imbroglio.  This  grows  out  of  the  fact  that  six  Ohio  regi- 
ments were  still  undischarged  and  in  the  service  of  the  govern- 
ment on  the  Rio  Grande,  being  there  with  reference  to  the  occu- 
pation of  Mexico  by  the  French.  Governor  Anderson  strenu- 
ously objects  to  these  regiments  being  in  the  service  after  the 
war  is  over.  In  the  accompanying  documents  are  the  corre- 
spondence and  proclamation  relating  to  the  death  of  Governor 
Brough,  to  the  Ohio  Soldiers'  Home  and  to  the  muster  out  of

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  51. 

The  subject  of  this  address,  although  it  is  not  on  the  title- 
page,  is,  "Texas,  Before  and  on  the  Eve  of  the  Rebellion." 
Governor  Anderson  removed  to  Texas  in  1859  in  quest  of 
health  and  occupation.  He  was  a  pronounced  Union  man  and 
he  soon  discovered  evidences  of  an  active  conspiracy  leading 
toward  secession  and  open  rebellion.  The  active  agency  in  this 
movement  was  the  "Knights  of  the  Golden  Circle,"  a  treasonable 
and  wide-spread  organization.  In  this  address  he  narrates  in 
detail  his  experiences  and  observations  during  this  time  as  a 
Union  man.  He  gives  in  detail  the  movements  of  the  secession- 
ists in  their  efforts  to  take  Texas  out  of  the  Union.  He  was 
personally  friendly  with  most  of  their  leaders  and  had  abundant 
opportunity  to  acquaint  and  familiarize  himself  with  their  trea- 
sonable designs.  He  opposed  them  actively  and  openly,  and  in 
a  speech  at  San  Antonio,  November  20,  i860,  he  delivered  a 
Union  address  in  the  face  of  personal  threats  and  danger.  He 
was  afterwards  confined  as  a  political  prisoner,  but  escaped.  In 
this  paper  he  reviews  in  detail  the  position  of  Texas  in  this  ex- 
citing period,  and  furnishes  an  important  and  rehable  history  of 
the  secession  movement.

There  were  two  regiments  of  this  number  from  Ohio  dur- 
ing the  Civil  War.  One  was  a  three  months'  regiment  which 
was  mustered  out  of  service  September  25,  1862 ;  the  other  and 
later  one  enlisted  for  six  months,  and  was  mustered  out  of  the 
service  February  10,  1864.  The  movements  and  record  of  this 
six  months'  regiment  is  the  subject  of  this  history. 

The  author  has  obtained  the  knowledge  set  forth  in  this 
work  as  he  says,  "from  our  memories,  from  old  pocket  diaries 
which  were  carried  safely  through  our  campaign  from  muster- 
in  to  muster-out,  from  souvenirs  gathered  by  the  way  and  now 
treasured  at  home  as  silent  witnesses,  and  by  corroborations 
dragged  out  of  the  musty  archives,  now  stored  in  the  Adjutant 
General's  office  at  Washington  and  Columbus." 

The  regiment  was  organized  at  Camp  Cleveland,  Ohio,  July 
14,  1863.  Its  Colonel  was  Wilson  C.  Lemert,  who  was  the 
Major  of  the  first,  or  three  months'  Eighty-Sixth  Regiment. 
It  saw  active  service  in  the  "Morgan  Raid"  and  at  the  capture

Ashley  (James  M.) 

Speech  of  Hon.  James  M.  Ashley  of  Ohio.    Delivered 

in  the  House  of  IJepresentatives,  January  17,  1861.     The 

Union  of  the  States;  The  Majority  Must  Govern;  It  is 

Treason  to  Secede.     Millions  for  defense,  not  a  cent  for 

tribute.    Washington :     H.  Polkinhorn,  Printer.     1861. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  16. 

This  is  an  exhaustive  and  able  appeal  for  the  unconditional 
emancipation  of  the  negro,  for  the  preservation  of  the  Union  at 
any  cost  and  against  the  treason  of  secession.  Mr.  Ashley's 
speeches  of  the  war  period  are  valuable  contributions  to  the 
history  of  that  time,  and  their  study  will  illuminate  all  the  public 
questions   of   that   period. 

James  M.  Ashley  was  born  near  Pittsburg,  Pa.,  November 
14,  1824.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Ohio  in  1849.  Settled 
in  Toledo,  was  elected  to  Congress  and  served  from  December 
5,  1859  to  March  3,  1869.     He  was  four  terms  chairman  of  the 


14  CIVIL   WAR    LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

Committee  on  territories  and  it  was  under  his  supervision  that 
Arizona,  Idaho  and  Montana  were  oro;anized  as  territories.  On 
the  breaking  out  of  the  Rebellion  he  took  a  most  prominent  part  in 
the  support  of  the  Union  cause  and  in  supporting  Mr.  Lin- 
coln's administration.  He  was  aggressively  anti-slavery  and 
he  drew  up  and  had  charge  of  the  bill  to  abolish  slavery  in  the 
District  of  Columbia,  and  also  had  charge  of  the  Constitutional 
amendment  abolishing  slavery  in  the  United  States.  To  him 
more  than  to  any  one  of  his  contemporaries  is  due  the  success  of 
that  legislation.  After  serving  five  terms  in  Congress  he  was 
defeated  for  the  sixth  term.  President  Grant  subsequently  ap- 
pointed him  governor  of  Montana,  which  position  he  filled  with 
signal  ability  and  success.     With  this  his  public  life  ended.

The  Rebellion  —  Its  Cause  and  Consequences.   Speech 
of  Hon.  J.  M.  Ashley,  of  Ohio,  College  Hall  in  the  City 
of  Toledo,  Tuesday  evening,  November  26,  1861.     Wash- 
ington, D.  C. :    L.  Towers  &  Co.,  Printers.    1861. 
Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  16. 

This  address  was  delivered  to  his  constituents  when  the 
secession  movement  was  actively  on  its  way.  He  reviews  the 
history  of  slavery  in  the  United  States,  and  quotes  the  writings 
of  Southern  statesmen  favoring  secession  as  far  back  as  1850. 
The  address  is  convincing  in  argument,  mild  in  tone  and  replete 
with  historical  facts.  It  was  widely  circulated  not  only  in  Ohio 
but  throughout  the  country.

service  or  labor  in  the  District  of  Columbia.  Washing-

During  the  first  session  of  Congress  after  Mr.  Lincoln  be- 
came President,  Mr.  Ashley  introduced  a  bill  to  abolish  slavery 
in  the  District  of  Columbia.  This  was  the  first  legislative  at- 
tempt for  emancipation.  The  bill  was  very  brief,  simply  enacting 
"that  slavery,  or  involuntary  servitude,  should  cease  in  the  Dis- 
trict of  Columbia,  from  and  after  the  passage  of  this  act".    The 


ASHLEY    (j.    M.)  15 

bill  was  regarded  as  too  radical  by  Mr.  Lincoln,  Mr.  Chase  and 
the  administration.  Air.  Chase  suggested  a  bill  to  compensate 
loyal  slaveholders.  Personally,  Mr.  Ashley  was  opposed  to 
recognizing  ownership  in  men,  but,  confident  that  no  other  bill 
would  pass,  he  agreed  to  this  suggestion.  He  reported  a  bill  of 
this  nature  on  the  12th  of  March,  1862.  On  the  nth  of  April 
following,  it  passed  and  was  at  once  signed  by  the  President. 

In  this  speech,  delivered  on  the  date  the  bill  passed,  Mr. 
Ashley  asseverated  his  belief  of  years,  that  "Congress  had  no 
more  right  to  make  a  slave,  than  to  make  a  king".  He  quoted 
the  writings  of  great  men  from  Plato  and  Socrates,  to  Alexander 
Hamilton  and  Daniel  O'Connell  on  the  moral  iniquity  of  human 
slavery.

Washington,  D.  C. :    H.  Polkinliom,  Printer.    1864. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  15. 

This  was  Mr.  Ashley's  first  speech  in  Congress  on  the  per- 
plexing question  of  reconstruction.  He  declares  in  a  powerful 
argument  that  neither  Mr.  Lincoln,  as  President,  nor  any  Gen- 
eral of  the  Army,  was  vested  by  the  constitution  or  the  laws  of 
war,  with  authority  to  organize  civil  state  governments  in  any 
of  the  states  that  seceded.  He  claimed  that  Congress,  and  Con- 
gress alone,  was  clothed  by  the  constitution,  with  this  extraord- 
inary power.  He  denied  that  any  President  or  General  had  any 
authority  vested  in  them  for  such  purpose.  His  criticism  of 
the  President  and  General  Banks  for  the  proclamation  in  Louisi- 
ana was  strong  and  logical.  The  speech  can  be  read  now  with 
instruction  concerning  the  powers  of  Congress.  Mr.  Ash- 
ley's attitude  was  strongly  indorsed  by  Senator  Sumner  and 
other  Congressional  leaders  of  that  day.

16  CIVIL   WAR   LITERATURE   OF  OHIO 

This  speech  and  the  adoption  of  the  constitutional  amend- 
ment places  Mr.  Ashley's  fame  secure  in  the  history'  of  Ameri- 
can statesmanship.  In  the  previous  session  of  Congress,  the 
joint  resolution  proposing-  this  amendment  had  been  rejected  by 
the  House.  On  this  day  Mr.  Ashley  called  the  resolution  up 
for  discussion,  which  ran  until  January  31,  1865,  when  the  reso- 
lution was  adopted  by  the  required  two-thirds  vote  —  119  yeas 
to  56  nays.  In  this  speech  there  is  a  complete  and  impassioned 
discussion  of  slavery  from  a  moral,  political  and  legal  standpoint 
as  well  as  an  argument  on  the  right  of  Congress  to  amend  the 
Constitution  on  the  vote  of  States  not  fully  in  the  Union.  Mr. 
Blaine  in  his  "Twenty  Years  of  Congress"  concerning  Mr.  Ash- 
ley's work  on  this  measure,  says :  "He  made  a  forcible  speech  in 
support  of  the  amendment,  but  the  chief  value  of  his  work  did 
not  consist  in  speaking,  but  in  his  watchful  care  of  the  measure, 
in  the  quick  and  intuitive  judgment  with  which  he  discerned 
every  man  on  the  Democratic  side  of  the  House  who  felt  an- 
xious as  to  the  vote  he  should  give  on  the  momentous  question, 
and  in  the  pressure  which  he  brought  to  bear  upon  him  from 
the  best  and  most  influential  of  his  constituents".  The  passage 
of  the  amendments  was  due  to  the  votes  of  eleven  Democrats,  — 
Wells  A.  Hutchins  of  Ohio  being  one  of  them.

Impartial  Suffrage  the  only  Safe  Basis  of  Reconstruc- 
tion. Speech  of  Hon.  James  M.  Ashley  of  Ohio,  in  the 
House  of  Representatives,  May  29,  18G6.  Washington: 
Printed  at  the  Congressional  Globe  Office.     1866. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  15. 

In  the  Reconstruction  debates  of  Congress  Mr.  Ashley  was 
conspicuous  and  influential,  and  his  speeches  represented  the 
progressive  or  radical  repul)licanism  of  the  time.  This  speech 
was  made  when  the  House  had  under  consideration  the  bill  to 
restore  to  the  States  lately  in  insurrection  their  full  political 
rights.  At  the  same  time  there  was  pending  also  a  bill  declaring 
certain  persons  who  had  been  engaged  in  rebellion  to  be  ineligible 
to  office  under  the  Government  of  the  United  States.  All  this 
legislation  was  ancillary  and  attendant  to  the  Fourteenth  Amend- 
ment to  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  then  before  Con- 
gress. In  this  speech  Mr.  Ashley  discussed  Reconstruction  with 
reference  to  all  these  measures  and  policies.  His  position  was 
this:  he  had  always  held,  that  when  the  people  of  the  seceding 
States  abolished  their  constitutional  State  governments,  and 
federated  together  in  violation  of  the  National  Constitution,  and 


ASHLEY    (j.    M.)  17 

organized  hostile  State  governments  and  a  national  confederate 
government,  and  maintained  those  governments  by  force  of  arms 
until  the  rebellion  became  so  formidable  as  to  claim  the  preroga- 
tive of  a  national  de  facto  government,  and  to  have  had  conceded 
to  it  by  the  United  States  and  the  great  powers  of  Europe  belli- 
gerent rights,  that  from  that  hour  constitutional  State  govern- 
ments ceased  in  each  of  the  States  so  federated  together.  He 
therefore  contends,  herein,  that  until  governments  are  reorgan- 
ized in  each  of  these  States  subordinate  to  the  National  Consti- 
tution and  recognized  by  Congress  there  can  be  no  constitutional 
State  governments  in  such  States.  He  advocates  that  the  gov- 
ernments be  confined  to  the  loyal  people,  both  white  and  black, 
in  those  States,  and  argues  for  the  enfranchisement  of  the 
negroes  therein.  Tn  this  position  Mr.  Ashley  was  supported  by 
Benjamin  F.  Wade,  Charles  Simmer,  Thaddeus  Stevens,  and 
other  leaders  of  the  Republican  Party.

A  portion  of  this  address  was  devoted  to  the  praise  of  Ohio 
and  Ohio  men.  "Great  occasions  produce  great  men,  and  the 
State  of  Ohio  furnished  her  full  quota  for  the  crisis  of  i86r. 
In  the  Army,  Ohio  eclipsed  the  world,"  he  said.  But  the  greater 
part  of  his  most  admirable  paper  was  a  history  of  the  passage 
through  the  House  of  Representatives  at  Washington  of  the 
Thirteenth  Amendment  to  the  Constitution  which  abolished 
slavery.

The  Thirteenth  Ohio  Volunteer  Cavalry  was  mustered  in 
at  Camp  Chase,  Ohio,  May  5,  1864.  The  Regiment,  at  the  organ- 
ization, was  formed  by  the  re-enlistment  of  members  of  the  Fourth 
and  Fifth  Independent  Cavalry  Battalions  (six  months'  organiza- 
tions) and  recruits  from  different  parts  of  the  State.  From  its 
organization  until  December  18,  1864,  the  Regiment  acted  as 
infantry.  On  that  day  the  men  were  armed  and  equipped  as 
cavalry,  and  served  as  such  until  mustered  out  at  Petersburg, 
Va.,  August  10,  1865.  The  Regiment  performed  good  and 
valiant  service.  It  participated  in  the  following  engagements : 
Weldon  Railroad,  Va.,  June  22-23,  1864;  Petersburg,  Va.,  (as- 
sault), July  30,  1864;  Ream's  Station,  Va.,  August  25,  1864; 
Poplar  Spring  Church,  Va.,  September  30,  1864;  Hatcher's 
Run,  Va.,  October  27,  1864;  Hatcher's  Run,  Va.,  February 
5-7,  1865;  Dinwiddie  C.  H.,  Va.,  March  31,  1865;  Amelia 
Springs  or  Jetersville,  Va.,  April  5,  1865 ;  and  Appomattox  C. 
H.,  (Lee's  surrender),  April  8-9,  1865. 

The  history  of  the  Regiment  is  written  largely  from  the 
diary  of  Howard  Aston,  which  recorded  a  most  realistic  account 
of  its  service.  His  description  of  the  "Crater  fight"  at  Peters- 
burg, wherein  the  command  advanced  to  the  hottest  of  the  con- 
flict and  into  the  very  crater  itself,  is  a  thrilling  and  dramatic 
description  of  one  of  the  most  heartsickening  assaults  of  the  War. 

The  appendix  has  a  well  written  sketch  by  Col.  S.  R.  Clark, 
the  regiment's  commander,  entitled  "With  Sheridan  from  Peters- 
burg to  Appomattox".  It  also  contains  the  history  of  the  Fourth 
and  Fifth  Independent  Battalions.  These  organizations  made 
creditable  records  in  the  "Morgan  Raid"  and  in  Eastern  Ken- 
tucky prior  to  their  transformation  into  the  Thirteenth  O.  V.  C.

During  the  Civil  War,  only  two  naval  officers  reached  the 
high  rank  of  Vice  .A,dmiral  in  our  Navy.  One  of  these  was 
David  S.  Porter,  who  became  Admiral  on  the  death  of  Admiral 
Farragut,  and  the  other,  Stephen  C.  Rowan,  was  made  Vice  Ad- 
miral by  selection  when  Porter  was  promoted  to  Farragut's  rank. 
In  this  paper  the  author  writes  of  the  life  and  career  of  Rowan. 
He  was  born  in  Ireland  December  25,  1808.  His  father  emi- 
grated to  Pennsylvania  and  afterwards  to  Piqua,  Ohio.  Young 
Rowan  entered  Miami  University  in  1825,  and  in  1826  was  ap- 
pointed Midshipman  in  the  Navy  by  Hon.  William  McLean,  M. 
C.  From  that  time  he  spent  the  whole  of  his  active  life  in  the 
service  of  his  country,  serving  with  distinction  in  the  War  with 
Mexico  and  in  the  Civil  War.  He  died  March  31,  1890,  in  the 
eighty-second  year  of  his  age.  A  monument  to  his  honor  has 
been  erected  at  Piqua,  Ohio,  by  J.  G.  Schmidlapp;  it  was  dedi- 
cated October  13,  1909.

Scraps  from  the  Prison  Table,  at  Camp

Lieut.  Col.  late  C.  S.  A.  Doylestown,  Pa. :  W. 
W.  Davis,  Printer,  18G8. 

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  S97,  with  8  Full  Page  Illustrations. 

The  author  was  a  Confederate  officer  of  the  First  Alabama 
Regiment,  and  was  captured  at  the  battle  of  Island  No.  lo. 
The  book  purports  to  give  his  experience  and  observations  while 
a  prisoner  at  Camp  Chase,  near  Columbus,  and  Johnson's  Island, 
in  Sandusky  Bay.  It  is  evidently  overdrawn  and  unreliable  as 
to  facts,  and  consists  largely  in  abuse  of  the  Union  cause  and 
glorification  of  the  South  and  slavery.  The  writer  was  during 
the  Cleveland  administration,  appointed  as  clerk  in  the  Pension 
Department  and  was  the  subject  of  attacks  by  the  Grand  Army 
of  the  Republic  on  account  of  his  statements  in  this  book.  In 
a  letter  to  a  personal  friend,  he  wrote :  "Now,  my  dear  sir, 
as  to  this  book.  It  was  written  and  published  when  passion  ran 
high  —  between  1865  and  1870  —  and  when  rum  ran  like  water. 
Seventeen  years  of  quiet  life  and  total  abstinence  from  intoxi- 
cants for  twelve  years  enable  me  to  see  things  differently  —  not 
to  hold  a  position  in  the  Pension  Office,  as  I  shall  resign.  *  * 
*  *  I  deeply  and  sincerely  regret  what  I  may  have  said  that 
is  deemed  offensive  in  this  book.  That  is  all  I  can  do.  This, 
with  intelligent  and  reasonable  men  will  condone  the  offense." 
Nevertheless,  the  book  is  interesting.  It  contains  readable 
descriptions,  and  sketches  of  the  Confederate  officers  imprisoned 
at  Johnson's  Island,  and  comments  on  the  military  situations  of 
the  time.  The  appendix  contains  the  roster  of  prisoners  confined 
at  John.son's  Island,  and  exchanges  in  September  1862.

Cloth.    12  mo.  pp.  3i6,  with  Full  Page  Portrait  of  Lincoln  and  Hamlin. 

This  book  had  a  very  extensive  circulation  in  the  campaign, 
and  is  regarded  as  one  of  the  most  reliable  of  the  early  Hves  of 
Lincoln. 

The  writer  at  the  time  was  the  political  editor  of  the  Cin- 
cinnati Gazette;  he  was  afterward  appointed  Commissioner  of 
Pensions  by  President  Lincoln,  which  office  he  held  for  seven 
years.  On  his  retirement  he  returned  to  the  Gazette  to  become 
its  editor.  He  died  at  Loveland,  Ohio,  in  1910,  aged  86.  He 
was  the  last  surviving  member  of  the  Hamilton  County,  Ohio, 
delegation  to  the  Chicago  Republican  Convention  in  i860,  that 
nominated  Abraham  Lincoln  for  President.

The  work  is  an  elaboration  and  extension,  up  to  date,  of 
the  foregoing  vokime.  It  is  very  complete  and  authoritative.  In 
addition  to  the  life  of  Mr.  Lincoln  prior  to  his  inauguration,  it 
gives  a  condensed  history  of  his  administration,  including  a  nar- 
rative of  military  operations  to  the  close  of  the  war.  The  most 
important  public  papers,  addresses  and  occasional  letters  of  the 
President  are  also  found  in  its  pages. 

An  edition  of  this  work  was  also  published  in  1864,  of  which 
this  later  one  is  an  extension.

Barrett,  LL.  D.  Illustrated.  In  two  volumes.  Cincin-

Cloth.  8  vo.  Volume  I,  pp.X+s79,  luith  Portrait  of  Lincoln  by

VI+4og,  with  Portrait  of  Lincoln,  Lincoln  Family  Group,  and  Facsimile 
Notes  of  Salmon  P.  Chase. 

As  an  authoritative  work  on  Lincoln  and  his  times,  this 
ranks  with  Nicolay  and  Hay's  Life.  The  personal  relationship 
of  the  author  to  Mr.  Lincoln  dates  before  his  nomination  to  the 
Presidency.  This  continued  with  increasing  intimacy  to  the  end 
of  Mr.  Lincoln's  life.  Mr.  Barrett's  official  relations  at  Wash- 
ington gave  him  full  and  free  opportunity  to  acquire  a  complete 
knowledge  of  the  great  events  of  the  Civil  War  period.  This 
work  is  the  most  important  contribution  to  the  literature  of  that 
time  written  by  any  Ohio  author.  It  contains  facsimile  auto- 
graph manuscripts  of  Lincoln,  Chase  and  others  never  before 
published.

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  15. 

The  writer,  born  in  Massachusetts  about  1817,  graduated 
from  West  Point  in  1837 ;  served  as  lieutenant  of  artillery  in 
the  Florida  War;  settled  in  Cincinnati  in  1842  after  resigning 
his  commission.  In  the  beginning  of  the  Civil  War  he  was 
commissioned  a  brigadier-general  of  volunteers  and  organized 
the  Ohio  Volunteers  in  Camps  Harrison  and  Dennison.  He  was 
commander  of  a  division  when  Cincinnati  was  threatened  by  a 
Confederate   invasion  in    1863. 

In  this  brief,  but  well  written  paper,  he  gives  his  experi- 
ence in  preparing  Ohio  for  the  conflict  which  few  believed 
would  come,  as  well  as  describes  the  unpreparedness  of  the  State 
for  action. 

It  is  also  published  in  "Sketches  of  War  History"  Volume 
I,  by  the  Ohio  Commandery  of  the  Loyal  Legion.

Oliio:   Shejiherd  and  Craig.    1884. 

Cloth.    12  mo.  pp.  244. 

Written,  as  stated  in  its  preface,  for  the  benefit  and  use  of 
the  survivors  of  the  repjiment  as  an  outline  history  only,  and 
offered  by  the  writer  "to  his  old  comrades  with  the  hope  that 
they  will  find  it  of  interest  and  value."  In  plain  style  it  records 
faithfully  the  organization,  campaigns  and  achievements  of  the 
regiment ;  also  contains  letters  from  former  officers  detailing 
their  experiences  and  recollections.  The  regiment  was  organ- 
ized at  Columbus,  Ohio,  in  September,  October  and  November, 
1861,  to  serve  three  years.  It  was  engaged  in  the  following 
battles  and  bore  a  valiant  part  therein:  Middle  Creek,  Ky.,  Janu- 
ary 10,  1862;  Pound  Gap,  Ky.,  March  14,  1862;  Franklin  and

Beall  (John  Y.) 

Trial  of  John  Y.  Beall  as  a  Spy  and  Guerrillero,  by 
Military  Commission.  New  York:  D.  Appleton  &  Com-

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  94. 

In  1864  the  opposition  to  the  prosecution  of  the  war  and 
President  Lincoln's  administration  was  open  and  aggressive  in 
Ohio  and  Indiana.  The  sympathy  with  the  South  was  uncon- 
cealed and  widespread  and  every  form  of  encouragement  was 
given  by  this  element  to  the  rebellion  movement.    These  sympa- 


26  CIVIL   WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

thizers  were  known  in  the  political  vernacular  of  the  day  as 
"Copperheads."  This  condition  of  affairs  encouraged  the  Con- 
federate Government  at  Richmond  to  undertake  a  "back  door" 
movement  against  the  Union  by  way  of  Lake  Erie  with  Canada 
as  a  base  of  operations.  The  scheme  originated  in  the  mind  of 
John  Yates  Beall,  a  'fearless  young  Virginian.  His  plan  was 
to  capture  the  U.  S.  cruiser  "Michigan",  an  armed  vessel  lying 
in  Sandusky  Bay,  liberate  the  Confederate  prisoners  at  Johnson's 
Island,  capture  Sandusky,  proceed  to  Camp  Chase  at  Columbus, 
Ohio,  and  liberate  the  prisoners  there,  and  then  with  the  aid  of 
sympathizers  in  Ohio  and  Indiana,  inaugurate  civil  war  in  the 
North.  Beall  carried  out  his  bold  plans  almost  to  the  point  of 
success.  On  the  19th  of  September,  1864,  near  Kelly's  Island, 
he  captured  the  "Philo  Parsons",  and  the  "Island  Queen",  but 
his  operations  were  thwarted  before  he  could  secure  the  "Michi- 
gan". He  was  captured,  tried  as  a  spy  and  hung  at  Governor's 
Island,  N.  Y.,  February  24,  1865. 

This  publication  contains  the  official  proceedings  of  the 
Military  Commission  that  tried  Beall.  It  includes  the  testimony 
of  witnesses,  arguments  of  counsel  and  the  findings  of  the  com- 
mission.

Publishers,  Nos.  141  and  143  Eace  street.     1879. 

Cloth.    12  mo.  pp.  401. 

A  well-written  and  very  interesting  narrative  of  regimental 
experiences  in  the  Third  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry.  It  is  taken 
from  the  writer's  own  observations  written  down  at  the  time 
and  covering  the  period  commencing  when  his  regiment  entered 
Virginia,  June  22,  1861,  and  ends  on  January  i,  1864.  The 
writer  has  a  record  distinguished  in  war,  politics,  finance  and 
literature.  He  was  born  at  Sandusky,  Ohio,  December  16, 
1828.  He  raised  a  company  for  the  war  in  April  1861 ;  was 
commissioned  lieutenant  colonel  Third  O.  V.  I.,  and  was  with 
McClellan  in  the  West  Virginia  campaign.  He  served  under 
Gen.  O.  M.  Mitchel  in  his  dash  through  Tennessee;  commis- 
sioned-colonel in  the  spring  of  1862.  Fought  in  the  battles  of 
Perryville  and  Stone  River,  and  was  made  a  brigadier  general 
November  29,  1862.  Served  in  the  Tullahoma  campaign,  the 
battles  of  Chickamauga  and  Chattanooga  and  in  the  march  to 
Knoxville  for  the  relief  of  General  Burnside.  His  military 
career  was  brilliant  and  successful.  He  was  a  member  of  Con- 
gress   from   the   8th    Ohio   District    1867-1873,    and    served   his

State  in  many  honorary  positions.  He  is  the  author  of  "The 
Citizen  Soldier",  1876;  "Belle  o'  Becketts  Lane",  1882;  "High 
Tariff  or  Low  Tariff,  Which?",  1894;  "Answer  to  'Coin's  Finan- 
cial School',"  1896;  "The  Acolhuans",  1902;  "McLean:  A 
Romance  of  the  War",  1904.  General  Beatty  is  one  of  the  most 
vigorous  and  trenchant  writers  that  Ohio  has  produced. 

The  Third  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  was  organized  for  the 
three  years'  service  at  Camp  Dennison,  June  20,  1861,  and  was 
mustered  out  June  21,  1864.  It  performed  splendid  work  all 
through  its  term  of  service,  and  especially  at  Middle  Creek  Fork, 
W.  Va.,  July  6,  1861 ;  Rich  Mountain,  W.  Va.,  July  11,  1861; 
Elkwater,  W.  Va.,  September  11,  1861 ;  Bridgeport,  Ala.,  April

A  pessimistic  review  of  the  military  character  and  record

Cloth.     16  mo.  pp.  XV  and  290. 

This  regiment  was  mustered  in  at  Camp  Dennison  during 
the  months  of  September,  October,  November  and  December, 
1861,  to  serve  for  three  years.  On  the  expiration  of  its  term 
of  service,  the  original  members  (except  veterans)  were  mus- 
tered out,  and  the  organization  composed  of  veterans  and  recruits 
retained  in  service  until  Jan.  17,  1865,  when  it  was  consolidated 
with  the  Eighty-Third  Regiment  Ohio  Infantry.  On  July  24, 
1865,  a  Battalion  of  six  companies  was  organized  by  the  con- 
solidation of  the  Eighty-Third  and  One  Hundred  and  Four- 
teenth Regiments.  Two  companies,  E  and  F,  were  mustered 
out  October  14,  1865,  by  reason  of  expiration  of  term  of  ser- 
vice. The  remaining  four  companies.  A,  B,  C,  and  D,  were 
retained  in  service  until  May  9,  1866,  when  they  were  mus- 
tered out  at  Galveston,  Texas,  in  accordance  with  orders  from 
the  War  Department.  This  regiment  honorably  participated 
in  the  following  battles:  Shiloh,  Tenn.,  April  6-7,  1862; 
Corinth,   Miss.,   October   3-4,    1862;    Chickasaw    Bayou,    Miss.,

This  history  is  a  valuable  regimental  record;  the  writers 
say:  "We  began  arranging  and  compiling  the  material,  consist- 
ing of  our  old  army  letters,  diaries,  company  record,  official  re- 
ports, etc.,  etc.,  in  1870,  and  had  it  ready  for  the  press  in  1873; 
but  owing  to  various  causes  we  have  delayed  its  publication  until 
the  present  time". 

In  addition,  the  work  contains  (pp.  200-272)  an  account 
of  the  escape  and  recapture  of  Maj.  J.  A.  Bering  and  Lieut. 
W.  J.  Srofe,  and  their  prison  life.  The  appendix  (pp.  273-290) 
has  a  partial  list  of  killed  and  wounded  of  the  Forty-Eighth  Regi- 
ment at  Shiloh,  and  a  roster  of  the  commissioned  officers  of  the 
regiment.

Cloth.     12  mo.  pp.  426,  with  Illustrations. 

The  steamboat  "Sultana"  on  the  27th  of  April,  1865,  with 
1866  federal  soldiers  and  33  officers  aboard,  just  released  from 
Cahaba,  Ala.,  Mason  and  Andersonville,  Ga.,  belonging  to  the 
states  of  Ohio.  Indiana,  Michigan,  Tennessee,  Kentucky  and 
West  Virginia,  exploded  her  boilers  near  Memphis  and  was 
Burned  to  the  water's  edge.  The  soldiers  aboard  were  exchanged 
prisoners  returning  to  their  homes.  Besides  these  there  were 
two  companies  of  infantry  under  arms,  and  numerous  passen- 
gers, and  the  crew.  The  official  report  of  Gen.  Huffman  says: 
"The  reports  and  testimony  show  there  were  1,866  troops  on 
board  the  boat,  including  33  paroled  officers;  one  officer  who 
had  resigned,  and  a  captain  in  charge  of  the  guard.  Of  these, 
765,  including  16  officers  were  saved,  and  1,101  including  19 
officers  were  lost.     There  were  some  70  cabin  passengers  and 


30  CIVIL   WAR   LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

85  crew  on  board,  of  whom  12  to  18  were  saved,  giving  the 
loss  of  137;  making  the  total  loss  1,238". 

This  volume  is  compiled  by  one  of  the  survivors  and  con- 
tains numerous  individual  narratives  by  those  who  passed 
through  the  awful  event.  Many  of  the  contributors  are  Ohioans. 
The  official  list  of  exchanged  prisoners  on  the  boat  at  the  time 
is  given,  and  547  were  from  Ohio;  and  18  from  Ohio  were 
known  to  be  aboard,  but  not  reported  in  the  official  list.  This 
makes  a  total  of  565  from  Ohio  regiments,  or  nearly  one-third 
of  all  aboard. 

The  book  is  valuable  on  account  of  the  personal  and  official 
information  relating  to  Ohio  soldiers,  although  it  is  crudely 
thrown  together.     It  has  neither  table  of  contents  nor  index.

The  author  was  a  war  correspondent  during  part  of  the 
war.  His  letters  and  dispatches  soon  gave  him  a  valuable  and 
reliable  reputation.  He  was  given  the  rank  of  captain  and 
afterwards  major  on  General  Rosecrans'  staflf.  He  was  born 
at  Cincinnati,  March  30,  1827,  and  spent  his  life  in  newspaper 
work.  In  1863  Major  Bickham  bought  the  Dayton  Journal  and 
for  a  lifetime  ranked  as  one  of  the  prominent  and  aggressive 
Republican  editors  of  Ohio.

BINGHAM    (JOHN   A.)  31 

This  speech  was  made  on  the  report  of  the  Committee  of 
Thirty-three;  see  "Corwin,  Thomas".  The  report  was  conciHa- 
tory  and  compromising.  Mr.  Bingham  argued  against  it  posi- 
tively in  this  expression  of  great  force  and  eloquence.  He  was 
bitterly  opposed  to  slavery  and  would  not  be  a  party  towards 
its  protection  either  in  the  South  or  elsewhere. 

John  A  Bingham  was  born  at  Mercer,  Pennsylvania,  Janu- 
ary 21,  1815.  He  was  one  of  the  most  striking  and  picturesque 
figures  in  national  politics  for  many  years.  He  was  one  of  the 
powerful  founders  and  leaders  of  the  Republican  party  before 
and  during  the  war,  serving  in  Congress  from  1855  to  1863  and 
from  1865  to  1873.  As  special  judge-advocate  in  the  trial  of 
President  Lincoln's  assassins  he  distinguished  himself  by  his 
eloquent  presentation  of  the  case  and  by  his  clear  and  analytical 
statement  of  the  evidence.  He  was  Chairman  of  the  Judiciary 
Committee  of  the  House,  and  was  one  of  the  managers  in  the 
impeachment  trial  of  President  Johnson.  After  his  career  in 
Congress  he  served  as  Minister  to  Japan  for  twelve  years.  In 
October,  1901,  his  fellow  citizens  of  Cadiz,  Ohio,  unveiled  a 
monument  in  honor  of  his  memory  as  one  of  the  greatest  states- 
men of  the  Civil  War  times.

Bingham   (John  A.) 

Speech  of  Hon.  John  A.  Bingham,  of  Ohio,  in  reply 
to  Hon.  John  J.  Crittenden,  of  Kentucky,  in  the  House 
of  Representatives,  April  11,  1862,  on  the  bill  to  emanci- 
pate slaves,  and  to  prohibit  slavery  and  perpetuate  liberty 
forever  in  the  National  Capital.  Washington,  D.  C. : 
Scammell  &  Co.,  Printers.     1862. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  8. 

Mr.  Crittenden  had  opposed  the  abolition  of  slavery  in  the 
District  of  Columbia  on  the  ground  that  it  was  an  inauspicious 
time  to  exercise  this  power.  He  conceded  that  Congress  had  the 
exclusive  right  over  the  District  for  this  and  all  other  purposes. 
Mr.  Bingham  in  this  speech  urges  the  passage  of  the  pending 
bill  with  force  and  eloquence.  He  argues  on  the  same  line  ap- 
parent in  all  his  speeches  against  slavery.  He  concluded  as  fol- 
lows :  "I  would  have  the  declaration  made  here  now,  beneath  the 
dome  of  the  Capitol,  careless  of  all  consequences  upon  the  fu- 
ture conduct  of  traitors  in  arms  against  us,  that  no  man  shall 
ever,  in  the  coming  future,  as  long  as  the  Republic  stands,  here, 
at  least,  where  our  power  of  legislation  is  supreme,  be  deprived  of 
his  life,  of  his  liberty,  or  of  his  property  without  due  process 
of  law;  and  that  slavery  or  involuntary  servitude  shall  never 


32  CIVIL   WAR   LITERATURE   OF  OHIO 

be  tolerated  here  in  all  the  hereafter,  except  as  punishment  for 
crime  upon  due  conviction.  That  is  simple  justice;  nothing 
more,  nothing  less ;  and  it  does  seem  to  me  that  further  argument 
in  favor  of  a  proposition  resting  upon  the  broadest,  clearest  prin- 
ciples of  simple,  even-handed  justice  is  unnecessary.  One  year 
ago  this  day,  slavery  opened  its  batteries  of  treason  upon  your 
garrison  in  Fort  Sumter  at  Charleston;  let  the  anniversary  of 
that  crime  be  signalized  by  the  banishment  of  slavery  forever 
from  the  national  capital."

An  elaborate  and  bitter  arraignment  of  the  leaders  of  the

and  especially  directed  at  Mr.  Vallandigham  for  his  proposing 
a  constitutional  amendment  to  divide  the  Union  into  four  sec- 
tions and  permitting  under  certain  conditions  any  state  to  with- 
draw from  the  Union.  The  speech  is  in  Mr.  Bingham's  most 
virile  style  and  expresses  his  criticisms  in  bold  and  scathing 
language.

Shall  the  Government  Surrender  to  the  Rebellion? 
Speech  of  Hon.  John  A.  Bingham,  of  Ohio,  in  reply  to  Hon. 
C.  L.  Vallandigham.  Delivered  in  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives, Jan.  14,  1863.    Washington,  D.  C. :    n.  p.  1863. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  16. 

Mr.  Vallandigham  had  offered  a  joint  resolution  proposing 
amendments  to  the  Constitution  dividing  the  United  States  into 
four  sections,  as  follows :  Maine,  New  Hampshire,  Vermont, 
Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  Connecticut,  New  York,  New  Jer- 
sey and  Pennsylvania  to  be  known  as  the  North ;  Ohio,  Indiana, 
Illinois,  Michigan,  Wisconsin,  Minnesota,  Iowa  and  Kansas  to 
be  known  as  the  West;  Oregon  and  California  to  be  known  as 
the  Pacific;  and  Delaware,  Maryland,  Virginia,  North  Carolina, 
South  Carolina,  Georgia,  Florida,  Alabama,  I\Iississippi,  Louis- 
iana,  Texas,  Arkansas,   Tennessee,   Kentucky  and   Missouri   to 


BINGHAM    (JOHN   A.)  33 

be  known  as  the  South.  This  amendment  offered  in  the  most 
critical  period  provoked  the  most  bitter  debates  in  Congress.  The 
amendment  also  conferred  the  right  of  secession  to  any  state 
of  its  section.  In  this  speech  Mr.  Bingham  replies  at  length  to 
Mr.  Vallandigham's  proposition,  and  denounces  his  attitude  in 
Congress  and  out  as  treasonable.

In  this  extensive  argument,  Mr.  Bingham  reviews,  analyzes 
and  compares  all  the  testimony  relative  to  Mr.  Lincoln's  assas- 
sination. It  is  a  strong  presentation  of  the  evidence  surround- 
ing one  of  the  most  useless  and  unjustifiable  crimes  in  history.

Mr.  Bingham,  together  with  Thaddeus  Stevens,  and  others, 
represented  the  radical  element  of  the  Republican  party  in  Con- 
gress at  this  time.  President  Andrew  Johnson  had  not  as  yet 
broken  with  his  party.  This  speech  was  in  defense  of  the  Presi- 
dent's policy  of  reconstruction  as  then  understood,  and  like  all 
of  Mr.  Bingham's  public  utterances  was  brilliant  and  compre- 
hensive.    It  is  a  valuable  contribution  to  the  political  literature

country  during  the  time  of  the  reconstruction  of  the  Southern

ing collection  of  discussions  on  the  public  questions  involved, 
and  can  be  read  by  the  student  of  the  Civil  War  with  instruction

An  unusually  valuable  and  interesting  speech  on  this  sub- 
ject. Mr.  Blake  goes  into  the  history  of  the  establishment  of 
Washington  as  the  National  Capital  and  completely  answers 
the  claim  made  by  pro-slavery  men,  that  the  maintenance  of 
slavery  in  the  District  of  Columbia  was  a  part  of  the  considera- 
tion for  the  location  of  the  capital.  He  charges  the  stunted

the  prominent  Ohioans  who  called  on  President  Lincoln  to  pro- 
test against  the  arrest  of  Vallandigham  under  General  Burnside's

Abolish  Slavery.    Washington :    n.  p.    January,  1865. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  7, 

Mr.  Bliss  found  this  a  sufficient  opening  to  express  in  print 
his  views  upon  a  number  of  questions  that  were  agitating  the 
public  mind.  He  denied,  as  the  resolutions  stated,  that  slavery 
was  the  cause  of  our  National  calamities,  but  averred  that  "un- 
lawful aggressions"  upon  that  institution  had  been  the  source  of 
all  the  evils  referred  to  by  the  Legislature.  He  was  opposed 
to  political  equality  for  the  Negro,  and  had  been  against  the 
policy  of  the  Government  toward  certain  Northern  white  men. 
Aside  from  these  the  measure  could  not  be  adopted  for  the  rea- 
son that  eleven  States  were  unrepresented  in  Congress.  A  foot 
note  states  that  since  the  reply  was  written,  the  measure  had 
been  put  to  vote  in  the  House  and  declared  carried  though  "two- 
thirds  of  the  House  did  not  concur  in  its  passage."

During  the  year  1864  there  occurred  in  Ohio  a  capture 
which  in  interest  equalled,  if  it  did  not  exceed,  that  of  Major 
Andre  of  Revolutionary  times.  Lieutenajit  Samuel  B.  Davis  of 
the  Confederate  army,  a  relative  of  Jeflferson  Davis,  was  sent 
by  him  on  a  secret  mission  to  Ohio.  He  was  a  young  officer, 
twenty-four  years  of  age,  tall  and*  slender,  and  prepossessing  in 
appearance.  He  was  arrested  as  a  spy.  The  author  of  this 
paper  was  appointed  judge-advocate  of  the  court-martial  which 
tried  him.  His  story  is  one  of  the  romances  of  Ohio  war  history.

A  severe,  if  not  savage,  criticism  of  the  "Memoirs  of  Gen- 
eral W.  T.  Sherman".  In  the  controversy  that  arose  between 
Sherman  and  Stanton  he  defends  the  latter  and  disparages  the 
former's  military  renown.  It  is  valuable  as  showing  how  minds 
may  differ  when  viewing  from  different  standpoints,  and  that 
minor  details  or  discrepancies  of  statements  are  nonessential 
when  great  success  is  eventually  attained.  General  Sherman's 
fame  is  built  upon  what  he  accomplished  and  the  criticisms  of 
this  book  cannot  unmake  history.

Gen.  Boynton  ranks  as  one  of  the  most  prolific  of  the  Ohio 
writers  concerning  the  Civil  War.  In  this  and  the  works  fol- 
lowing, and  his  writings  for  many  years  as  the  Correspondent 
of  the  Cincinnati  Gazette  and  Cincinnati  Commercial  Gazette, 
he  did  much  to  contribute  to  the  perpetuation  of  historical  events 
of  the  war. 

This  reprint  has  value  because  it  is  the  work  of  an  eye  wit- 
ness and  participant.  Gen.  Boynton  was  commissioned  Major 
of  the  Thirty-Fifth  Ohio  Infantry  July  29,  1861.  He  was  brev- 
etted  Brigadier-General  March  13,  1865,  "for  good  conduct  at 
the  battles  of  Chickamauga  and  Mission  Ridge".  On  account  of 
wounds,  he  resigned  at  Chattanooga  September  8,  1864.  He 
entered  the  field  of  literature  and  journalism  and  won  great 
reputation  as  a  Washington  correspondent. 

In  these  pages  Gen.  Boynton  has  given  the  details  of  two 
of  the  most  important  battles  of  the  War,  and  has  established 
their  correct  history.  Many  Ohio  regiments  and  commanders 
are  mentioned  therein,  and  tlieir  movements  are  given  with  par-

This  is  not  only  a  guide  and  description  of  the  great  Na- 
tional Parks  of  Chattanooga  and  Chickamauga,  but  is  a  history 
of  the  battles  which  they  commemorate,  and  whose  dead  they 
protect,  written  in  General  Boynton's  best  style.  No  other  wri- 
ter of  the  Civil  War  was  better  qualified  to  act  as  historian  of 
these  great  battles  than  this  Ohio  General.  He  was  the  chair- 
man and  the  historian  of  the  Chickamauga  and  Chattanooga 
National  Military  Park  Commission,  established  by  authority  of 
Congress. 

Chapter  VI  contains  the  complete  organization  of  the  Army 
of  the  Cumberland,  commanded  by  Gen.  William  S.  Rosecrans 
at  the  Battle  of  Chickamauga,  fought  September  19,  20,  1863. 
In  this  will  be  found  every  Ohio  Regiment  with  its  commander 
that  participated  in  the  battle.  Chapter  XII  gives  similar  in- 
formation of  the  same  army  under  Gen.  U.   S.  Grant,  relative

To  General  Boynton  belongs  the  credit  for  originating  this 
national  park  system.  The  first  suggestion  which  is  to  be  found 
anywhere  in  print  of  the  organization  out  of  which  this  national 
memorial  has  grown  was  in  a  letter  written  by  General  Boyn- 
ton on  the  17th  day  of  August,  1888,  after  his  return  from  a 
visit  to  the  battlefield.  At  the  meeting  of  the  Society  of  the 
Cumberland,  on  the  20th  of  September,  of  the  same  year,  a  prac- 
tical step  was  taken  by  the  appointment  of  a  committee  of  five 
"for  the  purpose  of  taking  the  necessary  steps  to  inaugurate  a 


42  CIVIL   WAR    LITERATURE   OF  OHIO 

movement  for  the  purchase  of  the  ground  on  which  the  battle 
of  Chickaniauga  was  fought;  that  monuments  may  be  placed 
thereon  to  mark  the  location  of  the  troops  that  fought  there, 
and  that  it  may  be  preserved  similar  to  the  plan  of  the  battle- 
field of  Gettysburg".  From  thenceforward  General  Boynton 
was  officially  connected  with  the  creation  and  preservation  of 
the  park  until  his  death. 

This  publication  contains  a  full  legislative  history  of  the 
park  referred  to,  also  the  speeches  delivered  at  the  dedication 
as  well  as  the  ceremonies  and  addresses  of  the  different  state 
celebrations  at  the  same  time.

In  the  various  current  notices  of  the  "Fighting  McCooks" 
they  are  often  spoken  of  as  one  family,  but  were  in  fact  two 
families,  the  sons  of  Major  Daniel  McCook  and  Dr.  John  Mc- 
Cook,  brothers.  Of  the  former  family,  there  were  engaged  in 
the   Civil   War,  the   father,   Major   Daniel   McCook,    Surgeon-

Speech  of  John  Brough  at  the  Union  Mass  Meeting  at 
Marietta,  Ohio,  June  10, 1863.  Springfield,  Ohio :  Spring- 
field Republic.    1863. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  8. 

John  Brough  was  one  of  the  strongest  characters  in  Ohio 
civil  life  during  the  momentous  period  of  the  war,  and  was  the 
third  and  the  greatest  of  the  war  governors  of  the  State.  He 
was  born  at  Marietta,  September  17,  181 1.  Was  one  of  the 
leading  Democratic  editors  of  Ohio,  owning  and  editing  news- 
papers at  Marietta  and  Lancaster  up  to  1835,  when  he  was 
elected  to  the  State  Senate.  In  1839  he  was  elected  State  Au- 
ditor; it  was  in  this  office  that  he  developed  his  executive  and 
financial  ability.  He  retired  from  this  office  in  1846  and  founded 
the  Cincinnati  Enquirer.  In  1848  he  entered  the  railroad  busi- 
ness. He  was  a  positive  and  patriotic  Democrat  and  at  the  com- 
mencement of  the  Rebellion,  he  urged  the  obliteration  of  party 
lines,  and  supported  the  Union  ticket  in  1861,  headed  by  David 
Tod  —  a  war  Democrat.  The  campaign  of  1863  in  Ohio  was  a 
critical  and  important  one  for  the  National  Government.  C.  L. 
Vallandigham,  an  exile  by  decree  of  President  Lincoln,  was 
nominated  for  Governor  by  the  Democrats.  Governor  Tod  was 
not  acceptable  to  the  Union  Republican  party,  and  the  eyes  of 
the  state  were  turned  to  John  Brough.  A  week  after  this  speech 
was  delivered  he  was  nominated  as  the  Union  Republican  can- 
didate for  Governor.  A  life-long  Democrat  he  championed 
Lincoln  and  the  Union  cause  in  the  ever  memorable  campaign 
of  1863.     Va^andigham  represented  practical  disloyalty  to  the 


44  CIVIL    WAR   LITERATURE   OF   OHIO 

government.  He  was  opposed  to  the  prosecution  of  the  war, 
favored  peace  with  the  Southern  Confederacy  and  cast  his  influ- 
ence wholly  against  the  administration  of  Mr.  Lincoln,  which 
at  this  time  stood  for  Union  and  Constitutional  supremacy.  The 
campaign  was  characterized  by  mingled  feelings  of  enthusiasm 
and  bitterness.  Brough  was  an  orator  of  great  power  and  elo- 
quence and  conducted  his  canvass  with  strength  and  ability. 
He  was  elected  by  a  plurality  of  100,882.  He  died  in  ofifice, 
August  29,  1865,  at  Cleveland,  Ohio.

This  speech  was  delivered  July  4,  1863  at  Dayton,  Ohio, 
and  was  the  first  of  Mr.  Brough's  public  utterances  as  the  Union 
candidate  for  Governor  of  Ohio  against  Clement  L.  Vallandig- 
ham, the  Democratic  candidate.  It  is  at  the  same  time  an  appeal 
to  his  fellow  Democrats  to  support  the  Union  cause  and  a  bitter 
denunciation  of  those  opposing  the  National  administration.  He 
was  an  orator  of  uncommon  vigor  and  eloquence.

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  10. 

John  Brough,  Union  Republican,  was  elected  Governor 
over  C.  L.  Vallandigham,  Peace  Democrat,  after  the  most  ex- 
citing canvass  since  the  Harrison  campaign  of  1840.  His  po- 
sition and  platform  was  the  prosecution  of  the  war  and  uncon- 
ditional fidelity  to  the  administration  of  Mr.  Lincoln.     Mr.  Val- 


BROUGH    (jOHN)  45 

landigham  favored  peace  and  a  settlement  of  the  war  on  con- 
ditions indefinite  and  unpatriotic.  Governor  Brough  in  his  in- 
augural simply  reaffirmed  in  aggressive  terms  the  principles  on 
which  he  made  his  canvass.  He  devoted  his  address  entirely  to 
war  matters,  both  State  and  National.  He  especially  advocated 
caring  for  the  family  of  the  soldiers  and  to  that  end  favored  the 
increase  of  the  war  tax  for  that  purpose  and  he  urged  that  Ohio 
do  everything  in  its  power  to  aid  the  National  Government  in 
suppressing  the  rebellion.  Said  he,  "There  are  but  two  ways 
in  which  the  restoration  of  peace  and  the  Union  is  to  be  ac- 
complished :  first,  the  unconditional  surrender  of  the  leaders, 
and  the  abandonment  of  the  rebellion ;  or  second,  the  continued 
progress  and  conquest  of  our  arms,  until  the  military  power  of 
the  Confederacy  is  broken,  and  the  heart  of  the  rebellion  is 
crushed.  All  intermediate  plans  or  schemes  are  mere  palliatives, 
that  like  our  compromises  of  the  past  fifty  years,  will  only  serve 
to  procrastinate  existing  evils ;  restoring  peace  that  will  require 
constant  watchfulness  and  concessions ;  and  prosperity  that  will 
be  dependent  upon  almost  annual  sacrifices  to  avoid  future  de- 
mands and  insurrection.  In  view  of  the  permanence  of  our 
government  and  the  integrity  of  our  Union,  there  is  no  such 
thing  as  compromise  with  rebels  in  arms  against  both.  Turn 
from  it  as  we  may,  the  great  truth  is  apparent  to  every  reason- 
ing mind,  that  submission  or  subjugation  for  the  leaders  of  the 
rebellion,  are  the  only  means  of  restoring  peace  and  good  gov- 
ernment again".  Governor  Brough's  administration  followed 
these  lines  and  all  through  his  term,  until  his  death,  he  gave  to 
the  State  and  Nation  untiring  energy,  great  executive  force  and 
every  patriotic  endeavor  to  sustain  the  Union  cause.

platform  on  which  he  is  running.  The  speech  had  a  wide  cir-

This  little  volume  is  one  of  that  class  that  were  published  dur-

and  no  just  conception  of  the  terrible  trials  and  sufferings  of 
army  life  can  be  had  without  the  knowledge  they  impart.  This 
author  gives  his  experience  at  Andersonville  and  his  long  tramp 
of  escape.  It  is  interestingly  written,  and  full  of  such  adven-

the  House  of  Kepresentatives,  Wednesday,  June 
16,  1886.    Washington :     n.  p.     1886. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  i6. 

This  is  a  review  of  the  relations  of  the  two  parties  —  Re- 
publican and  Democratic  —  to  the  maintenance  of  the  Union 
during  the  War.  Mr.  Campbell  argues  that  were  it  not  for  the 
support  that  Democrats  gave  the  government  in  1861-1865  the 
Rebellion  could  not  have  been  suppressed.  He  contends  that 
Secession  destroyed  party  lines  in  the  North  and  that  the  Union 
men  of  both  parties  acted  together,  both  on  the  field  and  at 
home,  for  support  of  the  Union  cause.  The  speech  is  a  power- 
ful plea  in  behalf  of  the  patriotism  of  Union  Democrats  of 
the  North  in  the  Civil  War. 

James  E.  Campbell  was  born  at  Middletown,  Ohio,  July  7, 
1843,  secured  an  academic  education,  was  admitted  to  the  bar, 
served  in  the  United  States  Navy  during  the  war,  was  member 
of  Congress  1883-1889,  and  was  elected  Governor  of  Ohio  in 
1889.

CANNON    (JAMES   C.)  53 

This  regiment  was  organized  at  Findlay,  Ohio,  September 
19,  1 861,  to  serve  three  years.  On  the  expiration  of  its  term  of 
service,  the  original  members  (except  veterans)  were  mustered 
out  and  the  organization,  composed  of  veterans  and  recruits,  re- 
tained in  service  until  July  25,  1865,  when  it  was  mustered  out 
in  accordance  with  orders  from  the  War  Department. 

This  history  is  a  well-written  record  of  the  life  and  doings 
of  both  the  individual  soldier  and  the  regiment.  Camp,  field, 
march,  skirmishes  and  all  that  go  to  make  up  a  soldier's  services 
are  here  given  in  creditable  form,  and  the  historian  has  done  his 
whole  duty  by  his  regiment.  The  Twenty-First  O.  V.  I.  was  re- 
cruited from  the  counties  of  Hancock,  Putnam,  Wood,  Defiance 
and  Ottawa  and  was  composed  mainly  of  farmers  and  farmers' 
sons.  An  honorable  part  was  performed  in  the  following 
campaign  and  battles:  Ivy  Mountain,  Ky.,  November  9,  1861 ; 
Bridgeport,  Ala.,  April  15,  1862;  La  Vergne,  Tenn.,  October  7, 
1862;  Nashville,  Tenn.,  November  5,  1862;  Stone  River,  Tenn.,

When,  in  the  spring  of  1864,  Governor  Brough's  offer  of 
thirty  thousand  additional  Ohio  troops  for  one  hundred  days' 
service  was  accepted  by  President  Lincoln,  this  company  was 
Company  A  of  the  Thirty-Ninth  Battalion,  O.  N.  G.  It  was 
composed  almost  wholly  of  Oberlin  College  students.  A  few 
days  thereafter,  it  was  merged  with  the  Twenty-Ninth  regiment 
O.  N.  G.  which  was  mustered  into  the  United  States  service  as 
the  One  Hundred  and  Fiftieth  O.  V.  I.  on  May  9,  1864.  Mr. 
Cannon's  work  contains  a  complete,  though  succinct,  record  of

Delivered  at  the  request  of  citizens  of  Columbus  and  mem- 
bers of  the  Ohio  Senate  at  the  time  of  the  outbreak  of  the  war. 
General  Carrington  was  Adjutant  General  of  the  State.  He 
reviews  certain  conditions  which  he  gives  as  the  causes  of  the 
rebellion,  viz:  Low  standards  in  politics,  overestimating  the 
strength  of  the  Union,  thirst  for  office,  and  slavery.  The  address 
advises  adherence  to  the  government,  and  opposition  to  secession.

This  is  a  republication  of  three  addresses  relating  to  the  Civil 
War.  They  are:  "The  Hour,  The  Peril,  The  Duty",  delivered 
at  Columbus,  Ohio,  while  Adjutant  General.  "The  War,  Its 
Nature  and  Prospects,  Its  Moral  and  Social  Evils,  and  Its  Ulti-

and  "Kind  Words  to  Colored  Citizens  upon  the  Religious,  Edu- 
cational, Social  and  Personal  Duty  of  their  Race",  at  Indian- 
apolis. In  these  addresses  Colonel  Carrington  has  covered  the 
whole  aspect  of  the  Civil  War.  His  first  address  foreshadowed 
the  struggle;  the  second  contemplated  a  crisis  in  its  progress, 
the  third  sought  to  win  an  emancipated  race  to  a  right  apprecia- 
tion of  its  costly  deliverance.

Rapidly  sketching  events  in  Columbus,  Ohio,  from  1849 
(the  date  he  became  a  practicing  attorney  there)  until  1861, 
General  Carrington  told  how  within  sixty  hours  of  the  Presi- 
dent's call  for  troops,  two  complete  Ohio  Regiments  were  mov- 
ing East  to  compete  with  Massachusetts  in  defense  of  the  Na- 
tional Capital.  He  also  described  domestic  disloyalty  in  Ohio 
during  the  War.  He  said  that  the  declaration  of  Sir  Thomas 
Pownall,  once  British  Colonial  Governor,  that  "America  has  be- 
come a  new  primary  planet  which  must  shift  the  center  of  grav- 
ity of  the  world"  began  to  be  fulfilled  by  the  Civil  War.  That 
his  comrades  might  estimate  at  its  true  value  the  contributions 
to  the  Grand  Army  of  three  States  of  the  Ohio  River  border  sec- 
tion —  Ohio,  Indiana  and  Illinois,  he  showed  that  the  grand  ag- 
gregate was:  Infantry,  510  regiments;  Cavalry,  439  regiments; 
Artillery,  6  regiments  and  30  light  batteries;  total,  about  600,000 
enlisted  men.  Ohio  alone,  he  said,  furnished  198  regiments  of 
infantry;  13  regiments  of  cavalry;  2  full  regiments  and  26  light 
batteries  of  artillery;  or  more  than  populous  New  York,  and 
more  than  all  of  anti-slavery  New  England.

This  is  one  of  the  first  Ohio  regimental  histories  written 
after  the  war.  As  the  pioneer  publication  of  its  class  its  literary 
value  will  stand  comparison  with  many  of  its  successors.  It  is 
a  faithful  chronicle  of  the  life  and  hardships  of  the  regiment. 

The  Eighty-First  O.  V.  I.  was  recruited  in  the  counties  of 
Allen,  Highland,  Ottawa,  Adams,  and  Morrow.  It  was  mustered

clearly  written  record  without  any  reference  to  details  or  official 
information.  It  is  a  narrative  of  the  progress  and  actions  of 
the  regiment  during  its  service  and  that  only  in  a  most  general

sembled at  Washington,  in  February,  1861,  under  an  invitation

This  pamphlet  was  published  and  widely  circulated  by  the 
Union  League  Association.  No  State  election  aroused  more  in- 
terest in  Washington  in  1863  than  the  one  in  Ohio.  The  result 
was  thought  far  from  certain,  and  all  Ohioans  were  importuned 
to  go  home  to  vote.  Mr.  Chase  had  made  two  or  three  appoint- 
ments to  speak  in  Ohio,  but  public  business  each  time  prevented. 
Not  until  the  Friday  afternoon  preceding  election  Tuesday  could 
he  arrange  his  affairs  for  a  few  days  absence.  The  train  arrived 
in  Columbus  at  two  o'clock  Saturday  morning,  and  the  Secre- 
tary was  astonished  to  find  a  large  concourse  awaiting  him  to 
conduct  him  to  a  hotel,  where  he  was  compelled  to  make  a  speech. 
On  Monday  morning  at  nine  o'clock  he  made  another  address  in 
Columbus  in  the  hall  of  the  Loyal  Legion.  On  the  way  to  Cin- 
cinnati he  made  short  talks  in  the  Columbus  depot,  at  Xenia, 
Morrow  and  Camp  Dennison.  Escorted  to  the  Burnet  House 
by  military,  Federal  and  municipal  officers,  he  addressed  the  peo- 
ple from  the  balcony.  That  evening  he  made  a  long  address  at 
Mozart  Hall,  and  following  the  election  on  Tuesday  night  was 
again  obliged  to  address  his  fellow-townsmen.  On  Wednesday 
he  spoke  at  Lawrenceburg,  Greensburg  and  Shelbyville,  ending 
the  day  with  a  great  speech  at  Indianapolis.  Returning  east- 
ward, he  spoke  at  Columbus  in  front  of  the  Capitol  Wednesday 
night,  reaching  Washington  on  Friday.  The  speeches  made  by 
Mr.  Chase,  together  with  one  made  in  Baltimore  on  September 
29  are  printed  in  full  in  this  publication.

The  Thirty-Ninth  was  the  first  body  of  Ohio  troops  to  en- 
camp on  Missouri  soil,  arriving  in  St.  Louis  August  20,  1861. 
Soon  thereafter  the  regiment  was  divided,  detachments  being 
sent,  with  other  troops,  to  different  parts  of  that  State  to  dis- 
perse the  marauders  and  guard  and  defend  Union  people  and 
property.  At  the  time  the  Chaplain's  eloquent  and  patriotic  dis- 
course was  delivered,  only  five  Ohio  companies  were  at  Camp 
Tod.  The  Chaplain's  history  of  the  regiment  ends  with  Decem- 
ber 21,  1861.  He  gives  the  names  of  the  staff,  field  and  band 
officers;  shows  the  county  or  place  where  each  company  was 
organized  (all  in  Southern  Ohio),  with  the  names  of  its  offi- 
cers ;  and  also  gives  the  names  of  all  who  had  died,  with  the 
cause  of  death,  to  December  12,  1861. 

This  regiment  was  organized  at  Camp  Dennison  in  August, 
1861,  to  serve  three  years.  Its  record  of  service  is  as  follows: 
New  Madrid,  Mo.,  March  3-5  and  March  13,  1862;  Island  No.

The  so-called  Peace  Convention  of  some  fifty  delegates  met 
at  Cincinnati  on  October  i8th,  and  continued  in  session  through 
the  19th.  A  committee  of  seven,  J.  W.  Singleton  and  Josiah 
Snow  of  Illinois,  Lafe  Devlin  of  Indiana,  William  Cornell  Jewett 
of  Pennsylvania  and  Alex.  Long,  William  Corry  and  I.  J.  Mil-

to  the  country.  Mr.  Long  was  offered  the  nomination  for  the 
Presidency,  but  declined.  After  adopting  resolutions  condemn- 
ing both  Lincoln  and  McClellan  and  the  Republican  and  Demo- 
cratic platforms  and  a  very  lengthy  address,  the  Convention  ad- 
journed sine  die,  without  making  nominations.  One  of  the  reso- 
lutions stated  "that  for  the  welfare  of  our  own  laborers,  as  well 
as  for  the  cause  of  truth,  we  declare  that  negro  slavery  among 
the  mingled  millions  of  Southern  whites  and  blacks  is  the  only

One  of  the  best  of  Ohio  regimental  histories;  and  the  regi- 
ment was  one  of  the  best  of  Ohio  regiments.  It  received  its 
nickname  —  The  "Opdycke  Tigers"  —  for  its  heroic  conduct  on 
the  battlefield  of  Chickamauga.  It  was  on  the  second  day  of 
the  battle,  Sunday,  September  20,  1863,  when  the  regiment, 
fighting  under  the  direct  observation  of  its  division  commander. 
Gen.  Thomas  J.  Wood,  was  called  by  him  the  name  that  it  car- 
ried through  and  since  the  war.  From  that  date  the  One  Hun-

without   hearing   such   expressions   as   "There   go   the   Tigers." 
"How  are  you  Tigers?"    "Go  in  Tigers." 

The  volume  is  typographically  far  above  the  ordinary  regi- 
mental history  in  excellence.  Its  hundreds  of  portraits  of  com- 
manders, officers,  and  men  of  the  regiment  add  to  its  value  and 
interest.  Its  literary  style  is  of  the  best,  and  the  description 
of  the  regiment's  part  in  the  battle  of  Chickamauga,  as  well  as 
the  general  history  narrated,  stamps  it  as  the  work  of  a  pains- 
taking and  attractive  writer.  It  also  contains  the  proceedings 
of  the  annual  reunions  to  the  date  of  publication,  of  the  regi- 
ment,  including  the  twelfth  —  July  3,   and  4,    1895. 

This  regiment  was  recruited  in  the  fall  of  1862  and  was 
organized  by  Colonel  Emerson  Opdycke  of  Trumbull  County. 
It  was  mustered  out  of  service  at  Camp  Chase,  October  17,  1865. 
It  was  distinguished  for  hard  fighting  whenever  engaged.  On 
various  occasions  its  worth  was  publicly  commended  by  its  com- 
manders. At  the  battle  of  Franklin,  after  the  battle  was  over. 
General  Thomas  rode  up  and  said:  "Colonel  Opdycke,  your 
brigade  saved  the  army  at  Franklin  and  saved  Nashville".  In 
addition  to  its  numerous  skirmishes  it  was  engaged  in  the  fol- 
lowing battles:  Franklin,  Tenn.,  April  10,  1863;  Chickamauga,

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  2^1,  with  14  Full  Page  Portraits  and  Illustrations. 

Under  the  thin  disguise  of  romance,  the  author  has  written 
a  stirring  history  and  a  touching  story  of  ante-bellum  days  in 
Southeastern  Ohio.  The  underground  railroad,  the  slave  auc- 
tion and  the  call  to  arms  in  1861  are  pictured  in  a  vivid  and 
faithful  narrative.  The  events  are  all  historical  and  in  some 
cases  the  names  of  the  actors  are  not  even  assumed  but  are 
given  in  fact.

This  is  the  best  biographical  study  of  General  Cox  for  the 
period  covered.  It  is  written  with  authority  and  is  scholarly  in

This  essay,  for  such  it  is,  and  it  is  a  truly  literary  produc-

principles  on  which  the  State  of  Ohio  is  founded  are  radically 
antagonistic  to  slavery  and  the  poHcy  of  secession.  It  was  widely 
circulated  in  the  Brough-Vallandigham  campaign.

This  is  the  only  report  of  the  work  of  the  Commissary  Gen- 
eral made  during  the  War.  When  the  call  for  volunteers  was 
made  by  the  President,  April  15,  1861,  the  State  was  without 
any  organized  subsistence  department.  This  emergency  was 
creditably  met  as  shown  by  this  report.  October  ist,  1861,  the 
General  Government  assumed  all  expense  of  subsisting  troops 
and  the  business  of  the  Commissary  General's  office  closed.  The 
report  contains  statistics  of  subsistence  commutations  of  rations 
and  contingent  expenses.  A  list  of  the  camps  of  the  State, 
twenty-one  in  number,  is  given  with  the  names  of  the  contractors 
furnishing  the  suppHes.  The  average  cost  per  ration  was  14.18 
cents,  and  650,000  complete  rations  were  furnished  by  the  State. 

Report  made  by  Columbus  Delano,  Commissary  General.

Pamphlet.    32  mo.  pp.  95. 

This  is  the  first  publication  treating  of  Morgan's  Raid  in 
Ohio,  being  published  immediately  after  the  event.  It  is  extremely 
scarce.  The  daily  papers  of  that  period  are  evidently  the  basis 
of  its  information,  as  it  contains  letters  from  the  scene  of  action 
from  the  Cincinnati  Gazette,  Cleveland  Herald  and  Richmond 
Enquirer.  It  contains  a  full  list  of  the  officers  of  General  Mor- 
gan's command  that  were  imprisoned  in  the  Ohio  Penitentiary 
with  their  leader.  Pen  pictures  of  General  Morgan,  Colonel 
Basil  W.  Duke  and  other  Confederate  leaders  are  also  included 
in  this  interesting  pamphlet.

This  address  urges  the  election  of  John  Brough  for  Gover- 
nor in  1863.  The  soldiers  of  Ohio  in  the  field,  regardless  of 
politics,  were  opposed  to  Vallandigham  and  it  was  to  aid  in  his 
defeat  that  this  publication  was  circulated.

great  General.  At  Shiloh,  Chattanooga,  Atlanta  and  the  March 
to  the  Sea,  this  regiment  did  its  full  duty  and  its  historian  has 
in  faithful  and  interesting  style  recorded  its  trials  and  experi-

November  27,  1885,  to  October  15,  1901.  The  volume  has  no

John  C.  Fremont,  was  a  candidate  himself  for  the  presidency

There  was  an  unprecedented  delay  in  the  organization  of  the 
House.  The  Republicans  supported  Hon.  John  Sherman,  of 
Ohio,  for  Speaker,  but  no  party  had  a  clear  majority.  The 
slavery  question  was  injected  after  the  first  ballot,  by  Hon.  John 
B.  Clark,  of  Missouri,  who  offered  a  resolution  condemning  a 
book  entitled,  "The  Impending  Crisis  of  the  South  —  How  to 
Meet  It,"  by  Hinton  R.  Helper,  and  declaring  that  no  member 
who  had  indorsed  the  book  was  worthy  of  the  Speakership.  Mr. 
Sherman  and  a  large  majority  of  the  Republicans  had  com- 
mended it  to  the  public.  It  was  in  the  general  discussion  on 
Slavery,  the  John  Brown  Raid  and  Secession  that  Mr.  Corwin 
delivered  this,  one  of  his  longest  speeches.  It  is  rambling,  and 
lacks  continuity  and  conviction.  His  only  fixed  declarations 
relate  to  opposition  to  the  extension  of  slavery.  A  vein  of  his 
inimitable  humor  runs  through  the  speech.  It  lacks  the  force, 
earnestness  and  love  of  principle  apparent  in  the  declarations  of 
others,  on  both  sides,  on  the  momentous  public  questions. 

Thomas  Corwin  was  born  in  Bourbon  County,  Kentucky, 
July  29,  1794.  He  removed  with  his  parents  to  Lebanon,  War- 
ren County,  Ohio,  in  1798.  Was  elected  to  the  Twenty-Second 
Congress  in  1830  from  the  Second  District.  Had  served  one 
term  in  the  Ohio  Legislature.  In  1832  under  another  appor- 
tionment he  was  elected  to  the  Twenty-Third  congress  and  was 
successively  elected  to  the  Twenty-Fourth,  Twenty-Fifth  and 
Twenty-Sixth.  In  1840  resigned  from  Congress  to  become  Gov- 
ernor of  Ohio  to  which  office  he  had  been  elected  that  year.  Was 
defeated  for  re-election  by  Wilson  Shannon  in  1842.  In  1844 
he  was  elected  by  a  Whig  legislature  to  the  United  States  Senate. 
His  most  famous  speech,  indeed  one  of  the  most  famous  in  the 
annals  of  the  Senate  was  that  against  the  Mexican  War.  It  was 
right  and  courageous  but  unpopular.  He  served  as  Senator 
until  July,  1850,  when  he  was  made  Secretary  of  the  Treasury 
by  President  Fillmore.  In  1858  he  was  elected  to  the  Thirty- 
Sixth  Congress  and  in  i860  was  re-elected  to  the  Thirty-Seventh 
Congress.  He  resigned  to  accept  the  position  of  Minister  to 
Mexico  in  which  he  served  until  1864.  He  died  at  Washington, 
December  18,  1865.

of  Ohio.  Delivered  in  the  House  of  Eepresentatives,  Jan.

When  the  second  session  of  the  Thirty-Sixth  Congress  met 
in  December,  i860,  after  the  election  but  before  the  inauguration 
of  Abraham  Lincoln  the  agitated  condition  of  the  country  en- 
gaged the  attention  of  both  branches.  A  "committee  of  thirty- 
three"  members,  consisting  of  one  from  each  state  was  appointed 
by  the  Speaker  on  the  vote  of  the  House.  It  tried  to  formulate 
some  plan  of  conciliation  or  compromise.  In  the  perilous  con- 
dition in  the  interest  of  peace  it  proposed  in  its  report,  (i)  An 
amendment  to  the  Constitution  to  the  effect  that  no  amendment 
having  for  its  object  any  interference  with  slavery  in  the  States 
shall  ever  be  made,  unless  the  same  shall  originate  with  a  slave 
state  and  be  assented  to  by  all  the  States.  (2)  An  act  for  the 
admission  of  New  Mexico  as  a  slave  state  without  further  ac- 
tion of  Congress.  (3)  An  amendment  of  the  Fugitive  Slave 
Law,  so  that  it  shall  be  more  efficient  for  the  arrest  of  fugitive 
slaves,  and  (4)  An  amendment  of  the  act  for  the  rendition  of 
fugitives  from  justice,  so  as  to  give  the  Federal  Court  exclusive 
jurisdiction,  and  make  the  indictment  prima  facie  evidence 
against  the  accused.  Mr.  Corwin  in  this  speech  urged  in  the 
interest  of  conciliation  all  four  of  these  propositions.  He  was 
willing  to  do  anything  to  preserve  the  Union  and  call  back  the 
seceding  States.  This  was  his  last  formal  speech  in  Congress. 
The  spirit  and  tone  of  the  Northern  Congressmen  in  this  ses- 
sion was  almost  appealing  in  their  desire  to  prevent  secession ; 
even  an  amendment  to  the  Constitution  preventing  Congress 
from  ever  abolishing,  or  interfering  with  slavery  was  adopted 
.by  the  Senate  and  House.  But  before  it  could  be  ratified  by  the 
States  all  efforts  at  conciliation  were  lost  by  reason  of  the  South- 
ern States  seceding.  Only  two  states,  Maryland  and  Ohio,  gave 
their  assent  to  the  amendment.  All  these  compromise  propo- 
sitions Mr.  Corwin  was  foremost  in  advocating.

Both  of  these  addresses  pay  tribute  to  the  patriotism  and 
self-sacrifice  of  the  defenders  of  the  Union,  but  they  both  glory 
in  the  blessing  of  a  united  country  and  give  thanks  for  the 
reconciliation  evident  in  the  North  and  South.

On  account  of  his  official  position  as  Adjutant  General  of 
Ohio  and  his  previous  life  long  acquaintance  with  Edwin  M. 
Stanton,  Secretary  of  War,  the  author  came  in  frequent  con- 
tact with  President  Lincoln,  particularly  in  the  summer  of  1864. 
In  these  pages  he  gives  his  personal  observations  and  a  critical 
estimate  of  the  great  war  President.  It  is  this  phase  that  gives 
the  work  special  value.  General  Cowen  was  born  at  Moor- 
field,  Ohio,  August  15,  1831.  He  began  his  active  life  as  a 
journalist.  He  entered  the  army  the  day  Fort  Sumter  was 
taken,  and  served  as  Paj'master  in  West  Virginia  and  with  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac  until  after  the  first  battle  of  Bull  Run. 
He  was  elected  Secretary  of  State  of  Ohio  in  1861.  In  January, 
1864,  he  became  Adjutant  General  of  Ohio  and  held  that  posi- 
tion until  after  the  close  of  the  war.  Under  President  Grant  he 
was  appointed  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Interior.  Later  he  had 
official  experience  with  the  Indians  of  the  West.  He  has  writ- 
ten, "Our  Beacon  Light"  (1884) ;  "Our  Civilization,  the  Product 
of  Christianity"  (1889);  "Do  Missions  Pay"  (1891).  He  died 
at  Cincinnati  in   1908.

Keconstruction  and  the  Relation  of  the  Kaces  in  the 
United  States.  Letter  from  a  committee  at  Oberlin  to  Gen. 
J.  D.  Cox,  the  Union  candidate  for  Governor.  Gen.  Cox's 
Response.  Columbus,  Ohio :  State  Journal  Steam  Press. 
1865. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  13. 

Gen.  Cox  is  asked  in  this  letter  "ist.  Are  you  in  favor  of 
modifying  our  Constitution  so  as  to  give  the  elective  franchise 
to  colored  men  ?  2nd.  In  the  reorganization  of  the  Southern 
States,  should  the  elective  franchise  be  secured  to  the  colored 
people?"  The  answer  is  able,  but  does  not  reply  categorically 
to  the  questions  asked.  It  is  a  patriotic  appeal  to  the  radical 
correspondents  to  let  the  General  Government  and  time  solve 
the  race  question  in  the  South.  Some  of  Gen.  Cox's  declarations 
are  prophetic  in  his  ideas  of  the  future  of  the  colored  race. 

Jacob  D.  Cox  was  born  in  Montreal,  Canada,  October  27, 
1828,  while  his  parents  were  temporarily  sojourning  in  that 
place.  Removed  to  Ohio  in  1846  and  was  graduated  at  Oberlin 
College  in  185 1.  In  1859-61  he  was  a  member  of  the  Ohio  Sen- 
ate. He  entered  the  army  April  23,  1861,  and  three  weeks  later 
received  a  commission  as  brigadier  general,  and  was  assigned  to 
Western  Virginia.  He  served  with  distinction  throughout  the 
war;  was  commissioned  major  general.  Was  Governor  of  Ohio, 
1866-7,  ^nd  Secretary  of  the  Interior  in  President  Grant's  cab- 
inet. He  died  at  Magnolia,  Massachusetts,  August  4,  1900.  He 
ranks  high  as  a  military  scholar  and  author,  and  is  the  first  of 
Ohio's  contributors  to  the  literature  of  the  Civil  War. 

In  addition  to  the  books  and  pamphlets  listed  and  annotated 
in  this  work.  General  Cox  has  written  many  historical  and  critical 
articles  and  reviews  relating  to  the  Civil  War,  which  have  ap- 
peared in  periodicals  and  compiled  works. 

To  the  Battles  and  Leaders  of  the  Civil  War,  (The  Century 
Co.,  New  York,  1887),  he  contributed  the  following  articles: 
War  Preparations  in  the  North,  I.  84;  McClellan  in  West  Vir- 
ginia, I.  126;  West  Virginia  Operations  under  Fremont,  II.  278; 
Forcing  Fox's  Gap  and  Turner's  Gap,  II.  583 ;  Battle  of  An- 
tietam,  II.  260.  To  Sketches  of  War  History,  (Robert  Clarke 
Co.,  Cincinnati,  1888)  he  contributed  The  Surrender  of  Johns- 
ton's Army,  II.  247.  For  the  British  Supplement  to  the  Encyclo- 
paedia Britannica  (1900)  he  wrote  the  article  on  General  Sher- 
man. The  following  articles  appeared  in  the  American  Histor- 
ical Review  (New  York)  :  Life  of  General  George  Gordon 
Meade,  April  1898;   Life  of  Oliver  P.  Morton,  April  1899;  The

Confederacy  Failed,  February,  1897. 

For  many  years  General  Cox  regularly  reviewed  in  the  Nation 
(New  York)  the  current  literature  of  the  Civil  War.  These 
reviews  form  an  important  contribution  to  the  military  history 
of  the  country  and  are  valuable  in  acquiring  a  complete  knowl- 
edge of  the  events  of  the  Rebellion  period,  on  account  of  their 
official  and  historical  accuracy.  His  contributions  to  this  period-

The  only  reference  to  the  Civil  War  is  in  the  discussion  of

vices rendered  and  money  expended  in  the  recruiting,  feeding, 
transporting  and  clothing  Ohio  volunteers  and  militia  during  the 
time  prior  to  the  mustering  of  such  troops  into  the  service  of 
the  United  States.  Claims  growing  out  of  the  "Morgan  Raid" 
and  claims  of  individual  soldiers  for  back  pay  and  bounty  are 
also  given  attention.  With  this  message  of  Governor  Cox,  the 
official  military  literature  for  the  Civil  War  period  comes  to  an 
end.

General  Cox  is  the  ablest  and  most  scholarly  of  the  military 
writers  of  Ohio.  His  writings  are  for  soldiers  and  historical 
students  rather  than  for  popular  reading.  He  ranks  among  the 
first  of  the  Civil  War  historians  in  our  national  literature. 

This  volume  records  the  movements  of  the  Armies  of  the 
Cumberland,  the  Tennessee  and  the  Ohio,  under  Gen.  Sherman 
from  Chattanooga  to  Atlanta  and  the  operations  around  the 
latter  places,  and  gives  a  full  and  vivid  narrative  of  the  battle 
of  Atlanta.  In  the  campaign  of  .\tlanta.  General  Cox  com- 
manded the  Third  Division  of  the  Twenty-Third  Army  Corps. 

Ohio  regiments  and  commanders  were  conspicuous  in  all 
the  movements  and  battles  herein  described.  Major  General 
William  T.  Sherman  was  Commander-in-Chief;  Major  General 
J.  B.  McPherson  was  Commander  of  the  Army  of  the  Tennes- 
see ;  Major  General  David  S.  Stanley,  Commander  of  the  Fourth 
Army  Corps ;  Brigadier  General  Jacob  D.  Cox,  Commander  of 
the  Twenty-Third  Army  Corps;  Manning  F.  Force,  John  W. 
Fuller,  William  B.  Hazen.  Mortimer  D.  Leggett,  Thomas  J.

It  was  at  the  battle  of  Atlanta  on  the  22nd  of  July  1863 
that  Gen.  J.  B.  McPherson,  an  Ohio  general  was  killed.

ner'sSons.    1882. 

Cloth.     12  mo.  pp.  IX  and  265,  with  10  Maps  —  4  Full  Page. 

A  splendid  narration  of  the  great  game  of  war  as  conducted 
by  General  Sherman  in  his  march  to  the  sea,  as  well  as  the 
movements  in  Tennessee  culminating  in  the  battles  of  Franklin 
and  Nashville,  all  of  which  were  largely  participated  in  by  Ohio 
regiments.  Gen.  Cox  in  this  work  has  drawn  largely  from  the 
official  records  of  the  Rebellion  and  from  its  unpublished 
archives. 

In  the  organization  of  the  Federal  forces  commanded  by 
General  Thomas  at  the  battle  of  Nashville,  December  15  and  16, 
1865,  General  Cox  gives  the  following  Ohio  regiments :  Thir-

Cox  (Jacob  D.) 

The  Battle  of  Franklin,  Tennessee,  November  30, 1864. 
A  Monograph.  By  Jacob  D.  Cox,  late  Major  General  com- 
manding Twenty-Third  Army  Corps.  With  Maps.  New 
York :    Chas.  Scribner's  Sons.    1897. 

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  X  and  351,  with  2  Full  Page  and  2  Folding  Maps. 

An  extremely  technical  and  critical  history  of  this  battle 
and  it  shows  Gen.  Cox  at  his  best  as  a  military  historian.  His 
knowledge  of  details  and  his  description  of  every  movement  on 
the  field  is  an  interesting  feature  of  this  work.  The  appendix 
contains  reports  on  the  battle  by  Generals  Schofield,  Cox,  (who 
commanded  the  Third  Division  of  the  Twenty-Third  Army 
Corps)  Wood  and  Stanley. 

In  the  last  two  chapters  (XX  and  XXI)  Gen.  Cox  devotes 
himself  to  controversial  points  which  have  arisen  concerning  the 
battle  as  to  who  was  in  command  on  the  main  line  of  defense  — 
himself  or  General  Stanley. 

Many  Ohio  regiments  participated  in  this  battle  and  the 
author  faithfully  records  their  movements.

Vol.  II,  XVI  and  396,  with  Full  Page  Portrait  and  9  Maps. 

A  work  of  high  literary  merit  and  one  of  the  best  contribu- 
tions to  American  military  literature.  It  is  unprejudiced,  and 
notwithstanding  its  personal  character,  it  is  remarkably  free  from 
anything  like  self-glorification.  It  is  more  a  history  of  the  cam- 
paigns in  which  General  Cox  participated,  than  of  his  own  in- 
dividual career.  He  commences  with  the  exciting  period  of  the 
firing  on  Fort  Sumter  and  from  thenceforward  it  is  a  smooth, 
comprehensive  and  critical  narrative  of  the  Civil  War  as  he  saw 
it  from  his  point  of  participation.

Speech  of  Hon.  S.  S.  Cox,  of  Ohio,  in  reply  to  Hon. 
Thomas  Corwin  on  the  Election  of  Speaker.  Delivered  in 
the  House  of  Representatives,  December  8,  1859.  Wash- 
ington :  Printed  by  Lemuel  Towers.  1859. 

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  16. 

Mr.  Corwin,  having  addressed  the  House  in  favor  of  the 
election  of  John  Sherman  as  Speaker,  Mr.  Cox  replies,  dwelling 
largely  on  Ohio  politics.  He  charges  the  Republicans  of  Ohio 
with  being  opposed  to  the  enforcement  of  law  and  the  constitu- 
tion. He  severely  criticises  Governor  Chase  for  his  attitude  on 
the  Fugitive  Slave  Law,  and  discusses  the  refusal  of  the  Repub- 
licans to  nominate  Judge  Swan  as  Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court 
by  reason  of  his  decision  recognizing  that  law.  This  speech  gives 
a  view  of  the  political  situation  in  Ohio  on  the  questions  that  pre- 
saged the  Civil  War,  and  may  be  regarded  as  the  first  of  Mr. 
Cox's  contributions  to  the  literature  on  that  subject.

In  this  speech  Mr.  Cox  takes  the  position  that  it  is  the  duty 
of   all   patriotic   citizens   to   make   concessions   to    the    Southern 


84  CIVIL   WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

States,  then  in  process  of  secession.  He  presents  what  may  be 
called  the  conservative  Union  Democratic  sentiment  of  the  North. 
He  characterizes  secession  "in  theory  or  practice  as  moral  trea- 
son to  patriotism  and  good  government".  He  says,  "If  the  South 
press  the  one  hard  over-mastering  question  upon  the  North  and 
follow  it  up  with  seizure  of  forts  and  revenues,  cannonading  of 
our  vessels,  and  other  aggressive  acts,  without  giving  an  oppor- 
tunity for  conciliation,  there  will  be  no  power  in  the  conservatism 
of  the  North  to  restrain  the  people.  No  sacrifice  will  be  consid- 
ered too  great  to  make  in  the  protection  and  defense  of  the 
Union".  The  speech  proposes  no  plan,  however,  for  a  basis  of 
conciliation ;  it  is  rather  an  appeal  to  the  South  to  remain  in  the 
Union.  As  to  S.  S.  Cox,  see  "Cox,  (William  Van  Zandt)  and 
Northrup  (Milton  Harlow)".

A  patriotic  appeal  for  justice  on  the  part  of  the  United 
States  in  dealing  with  foreign  vessels  seized  by  National  au- 
thority on  the  high  seas.  The  speech  was  made  on  the  question 
of  relieving  the  owner  of  the  British  ship  Perthshire  which  was 
detained  for  a  supposed  breach  of  the  blockade.

Speech  of  Hon.  S.  S.  Cox,  of  Ohio,  in  Vindication  of 
Gen.  McClellan  from  the  Attacks  of  Congressional  War 
Critics.  Delivered  in  the  House  of  Representatives,  Jan- 
uary 31,  1862.  Washington:  Towers  &  Co.,  Printers. 
1862. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  16. 

This  is  a  response  to  an  attack  on  General  McClellan  by  an 
Ohio  member  of  Congress  made  a  few  days  before.  See  "Gur- 
ley,  J.  A."  It  is  one  of  Mr.  Cox's  most  brilliant  war  speeches. 
He  ably  defends  the  commanding  general  and  his  policy,  and 
with  humor  and  sarcasm  ridicules  Mr.  Gurley  as  effectively  as 
Tom  Corwin  did  Gen.  Crary  in  his  famous  militia  speech.     In

both  instances  the  critics  aspired  to  superior  military  knowledge 
and  both  fell  victims  to  crushing  ridicule.

Emancipation  and  its  Results  —  Is  Ohio  to  be  Afri- 
canized? Speech  of  Hon.  S.  S.  Cox,  of  Ohio.  Delivered 
in  the  House  of  Representatives,  June  6,  1862.  Wash- 
ington :    L.  Towers  &  Co.    1862. 

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  i6. 

Herein  Mr.  Cox  charges  that  the  war  is  being  carried  on 
with  emancipation  of  the  negro  as  the  dominant  purpose,  and  not 
the  preservation  of  the  Union.  He  opposes  the  abolition  of 
slavery,  and  claims  its  result  will  be  disastrous  to  Ohio  because 
it  will  be  made  the  home  of  thousands  of  free  negroes  by  im- 
migration and  will  add  a  population  that  will  be  "vicious,  indo- 
lent and  improvident."  He  dwells  at  length  on  the  character  of 
the  free  negro  settlements  in  Greene,  Brown  and  other  counties 
of  Ohio,  claiming  that  they  are  deleterious  to  the  white  popu- 
lation. He  objects  to  the  distribution  of  the  colored  race  among 
the  people  of  the  free  states  because  it  will  effect  free  white  la- 
bor and  detract  from  the  prosperity  of  the  various  communities.

Cox  (S.  S.) 

Meaning  of  the  Elections  of  1862.  Speech  of  Hon.  S. 
S.  Cox,  of  Ohio.  Delivered  in  the  House  of  Representa- 
tives, December  15,  1862.  Washington :  L.  Towers  &  Co., 
Printers.    1862. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  15. 

The  result  of  the  October  elections  in  the  Northern  States 
was  adverse  to  Mr.  Lincoln's  policies,  and  he  was  much  disap- 
pointed and  discouraged  for  a  time.  The  five  great  free  states 
of  the  North,  Ohio,  Indiana,  Illinois,  Pennsylvania  and  New 
York  were  lost  to  the  Republicans.  In  the  selection  of  the  Con- 
gressional representatives  in  these  five  leading  states,  the  Admin- 
istration had  only  forty,  while  the  opposition  secured  fifty  mem- 
bers. This  revulsion  of  public  sentiment  was  largely  due  to 
President  Lincoln's  Monitory  Proclamation  of  Emancipation  is- 
sued on  the  22nd  of  September,  1862,  and  which  was  to  go  into 
effect  January  i,  1863. 

Mr.  Cox  in  this  speech  passes  in  criticism  all  the  events  of 


86  CIVIL   WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

the  war,  and  charges  that  the  elections  are  the  people's  condem- 
nation of  Mr.  Lincoln.  It  is  strictly  a  partisan,  but  nevertheless 
an  adroit  and  effective  speech  for  the  hour.  He  pleads  for  peace, 
and  calls  for  a  national  convention  representing  all  the  states  to 
consider  it.

Puritanism  in  Politics.  Speech  of  Hon.  S.  S.  Cox, 
of  Ohio,  before  the  Democratic  Union  Association,  Janu- 
ary 13,  1863.    New  York:  Van  Evrie,  Horton  &  Co.   1863. 

Pamphlet  8  vo.  pp.  14. 

An  extremely  bitter  criticism  of  the  people  of  New  Eng- 
land. He  declared  that  the  "arrogant,  selfish,  narrow  and 
Puritan  policy"  of  New  England  dominated  the  Government, 
and  that  hatred  for  such  policies  was  liable  to  develop  into 
civil  war  in  the  North.  He  declared  that  Abolition  had  made 
Union  between  the  North  and  South  an  impossibility,  and 
that  New  England  allowed  the  war  to  begin  when  it  could 
have  prevented  it.  The  speech  is  full  of  historical  references 
to  the  government  policies  and  literature  of  the  Puritans.  It 
created  a  great  sensation  at  the  time,  and  it  was  severely  re- 
ferred to  by  the  "New  York  Tribune,"  Henry  Ward  Beecher 
and  the  "Atlantic  Monthly."

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  is. 

This  speech  was  made  when  the  House  had  under  consider- 
ation the  bill  to  call  out  the  National  forces,  and  Mr.  Cox 
opposes  the  conscription  because,  he  claims,  that  the  war  is  car- 
ried on  to  destroy  slavery  and  not  to  preserve  the  Union.  He 
bitterly  criticizes  President  Lincoln,  and  denounces  him  for  issu- 
ing the  Emancipation   Proclamation.

The  House,  having  under  consideration  the  bill  to  establish 
a  Bureau  of  Freedmen  Affairs,  this  speech  was  delivered  in  op- 
position. It  is  sensational  in  its  criticisms  of  Wendell  Phillips, 
Horace  Greeley  and  other  leading  Abolitionists,  charging  that 
they  favored  the  amalgamation  of  the  black  and  white  races. 
Mr.  Cox  contends  that  this  condition  will  inevitably  result  from 
the  emancipation  of  the  negro.

A  defense  of  the  right  of  Hon.  Alexander  Long  to  free  de-

was  introduced  by  the  Speaker  to  expel  him  (Long)  ;  his  declar- 
ations favoring  the  recognition  of  the  Southern  Confederacy  be- 
ing the  grounds  of  this  action.  See  "Long,  Alexander," 
"Schenck,  Robert  C,"  and  "Wood,  Fernando."  Mr.  Cox  in  this 
temperate  and  effective  speech  stated  the  position  of  the  major- 


an  CIVIL    WAR   LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

ity  of  Mr.  Long's  Democratic  colleagues.  He  claimed  that  the 
proposed  action  of  the  House  was  an  unwarranted  invasion  of 
the  rights  of  individual  Representatives.

The  author  represented  the  Columbus,  Ohio,  district  in 
Congress  for  eight  years  and  was  one  of  the  ablest  and  most 
brilliant  of  its  members.  He  was  a  pronounced  Democrat  op- 
posed to  secession.  He,  in  the  main,  voted  to  aid  the  Lincoln 
administration  in  maintaining  the  Federal  authority  over  the  in- 
surgent states.  At  the  same  time  he  was  one  of  Mr.  Lincoln's 
bitterest  critics  and  was  the  friend  and  supporter  of  C.  L.  Val- 
landigham  in  his  opposition  to  the  war  and  in  his  advocacy  of 
peace. 

This  volume  is  a  valuable  contribution  to  the  political  his- 
tory of  the  Civil  War.  Covering  the  period  of  approaching 
hostilities  and  actual  conflict,  the  author's  memoirs  and  speeches 
give  a  vivid  idea  of  the  position  of  the  Democratic  party  during 
that  time. 

The  speeches  are  of  remarkable  literary  excellence  and  show 
a  wide  range  of  culture  and  knowledge.  Regardless  of  his 
standpoint,  it  can  be  said  that  he  never  addressed  the  House  on 
any  subject  that  he  did  not  exhaust  and  illumine.

cox  AND  NORTHRUP  89 

The  first  decade  begins  with  the  organization  of  the  Repub- 
lican party  at  Pittsburg  in  the  year  1855,  the  second  with  the 
period  of  Reconstruction  in  1865,  and  the  third  with  the  in- 
auguration and  reinstatement  of  civil  power  in  the  South  in 
1875.  For  thirty  years  a  complete  history  of  the  politics  of  the 
country  is  given  from  a  Democratic  standpoint.  The  work  is 
invaluable  to  the  historical  student  in  acquiring  full  and  dis- 
interested knowledge  of  all  sides  of  the  questions,  causing,  and 
arising  out  of  the  Civil  War.  It  is  written  in  the  most  fascinat- 
ing style,  indeed  too  fascinating  for  historical  accuracy.  It 
seems  to  have  been  the  purpose  of  the  author  to  suit  both  sides 
of  the  conflict;  nevertheless,  one  cannot  get  elsewhere  a  full 
conception  of  the  period  of  which  it  treats  from  a  Bourbon 
point  of  view. 

Throughout  the  work  are  the  charming  personal  recollections 
of  the  author  for  the  period  of  his  twenty-four  years  in  Congress 
which  lend  a  literary  flavor  that  adds  to  its  value  and  attractive- 
ness.

Life  of  Samuel  Sullivan  Cox,  by  his  nephew,  William 
Van  Zandt  Cox  and  his  friend,  Milton  Harlow  North  r up,

Illustrations. 

This  is  a  biography  of  a  man  who  in  his  day  was  one  of  the 
best  known  of  the  public  men  of  Ohio.  Samuel  Sullivan  Cox 
was  born  in  Zanesville,  Ohio,  September  30,  1824,  graduated 
from  Brown  University  in  1846  and  became  editor  of  the  Ohio 
"Statesman"  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  in  1853.  It  was  while  editor 
of  this  paper  that  he  wrote  a  brilliant  description  of  a  gorgeous 
sunset  and  from  which  he  received  the  nickname  of  "Sunset," 
which  he  carried  to  the  end  of  his  life.  He  was  never  referred 
to  afterwards  publicly  or  privately  except  as  "Sunset"  Cox.  He 
had  a  natural  taste  for  politics,  was  a  good  writer  and  an  attrac- 
tive stump  speaker.  Mr.  Cox  on  account  of  party  service  was 
offered  the  secretaryship  of  the  legation  at  London  in  1855,  by 
President  Pierce,  but  declined  it.  He  shortly  afterwards  was 
appointed  secretary  to  the  legation  at  Peru,  but  on  account  of 
serious  illness  at  Aspinwall  on  his  way,  he  returned  without  tak- 
ing his  post.    He  was  a  vigorous  and  radical  Democrat  and  repre- 


90  CIVIL   WAR   LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

sented  the  Columbus,  Ohio,  cHstrict  in  Congress  from  December 
7,  1857  to  March  3,  1865.  He  opposed  Lincoln's  administration 
but  voted  men  and  money  to  carry  on  the  war.  After  his  Con- 
gressional term  expired,  he  moved  to  New  York  City  and  was 
soon  as  deep  in  politics  there  as  he  had  been  in  Ohio.  He  was 
elected  to  Congress  from  the  Sixth  New  York  district  and  was 
re-elected  three  times. 

He  traveled  much  abroad  and  was  appointed  Minister  to 
Turkey  in  1885,  but  resigned  after  a  year's  service  and  was 
again  re-elected  to  Congress. 

His  fame  will  rest  more  on  his  literary  work  than  on  his 
political  career.  He  was  a  master  of  chaste  humor  and  innocent 
wit.  He  wrote  "The  Buckeye  Abroad"  (1851)  ;  "Puritanism  in 
Politics"  (1863)  ;  "Eight  Years  in  Congress"  (1865)  ;  "A  Search 
for  Winter  Sunbeams"  (1870);  "Why  We  Laugh"  (1876); 
"Free  Land  and  Free  Trade"  (1876);  "Arctic  Sunbeams" 
(1882);  "Orient  Sunbeams"  (1882);  and  "Three  Decades  of 
Federal  Legislation"  (1885). 

This  work  is  written  from  the  standpoint  of  admiring  friend- 
ship. It  devotes  considerable  space  to  his  travels  abroad  and 
his  early  life,  and  presents  his  public  career  fairly,  especially  his 
labors  in  Congress  in  behalf  of  the  Life  Saving  Service  and  the 
Letter  Carriers  of  the  United  States  Mail  Service.  The  latter 
in  testimony  of  his  efforts  in  their  behalf  erected  a  statue  of 
S.  S.  Cox  in  Astor  Place,  New  York  after  his  death,  which 
occurred  September  10,  1889.

This  paper  was  one  of  the  ablest,  most  widely  circulated 
and  best  hated  publications  of  Ohio  during  the  war  period.  No 
proper  study  and  understanding  of  the  domestic  feeling  and  con- 
ditions in  the  State  can  be  obtained  without  a  perusal  of  its 
contents.  It  was  an  eight  page  paper,  with  five  columns  to  the 
page,  one  volume  each  year.  Its  publication  was  begun  Janu- 
ary 31,  1 861,  at  the  most  critical  period  in  the  history  of  the 
country.  Its  avowed  purpose  was  to  advocate  the  Monroe  doc- 
trine, ultra  States  rights  and  peace  between  the  States.  It  vigor- 
ously opposed  Mr.  Lincoln  at  every  step  of  his  administration, 
denounced  the  war  and  the  soldiers  of  the  Union  army,  and  in 
every  way  possible  obstructed  the  suppression  of  the  Rebellion. 
Its  editorials  were  brilliant,  aggressive  and  taunting  against  the 
party  in  power  and  the  Government  at  Washington.  It  was 
financially  a  great  success  and  attained  a  wide  circulation.  Afr. 
Medary  continued  as  owner  and  editor  tmtil  his  death  Novem- 
ber 7,  1864.  So  intense  was  the  feeling  against  this  paper  that 
on  the  night  of  March  5,  1863,  it  was  mobbed  by  citizens  and 
soldiers  and  its  property  sacked  and  destroyed. 

Samuel  Medary  was  born  in  Montgomery  County,  Pennsyl- 
vania, February  25,  1801,  and  moved  to  Clermont  County,  Ohio, 
in  1825.  He  served  in  the  Legislature  from  that  county  for  one 
term  and  was  a  Senator  from  the  Clermont  district  for  two 
terms.  He  grew  to  great  influence  in  the  Democratic  party  of 
Ohio.  He  was  appointed  Governor  of  the  Territory  of  Minne- 
sota, and  after  two  years'  service  was  appointed  Governor  of 
the  Territory  of  Kansas  and  served  two  years.  Returning  to 
Columbus,  he  founded  the  Crisis.

This  regiment  was  organized  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  in  June 
and  July  1861  to  serve  three  years.  Company  D.  was  perma- 
nently detached  as  Twelfth  Battery,  Oliio  Light  Artillery,  March 
17,  1862.  A  new  Company  was  organized  in  October,  1864,  to 
serve  one  year  and  assigned  to  this  regiment  as  Company  D. 
The  original  members  (except  veterans)  were  mustered  out 
July  16,  1864,  and  Company  D.  October  16,  1865,  by  reason  of 
expiration  of  term  of  service.  The  organization,  composed  of 
veterans  and  recruits  was  retained  in  service  until  June  18,  1866, 
when  it  was  mustered  out  in  accordance  with  orders  from  the 
War  Department.  The  regiment  bore  an  honorable  part  in  the 
following  battles:  Cheat  Mountain,  \V.  Va.,  September  12-13,

This  little  volume  is  one  of  the  most  intelligently  written  of 
the  numerous  Ohio  regimental  histories.  Its  consecutive  narra- 
tion of  tlie  life  and  service  of  the  regiment  gives  it  value  from  a 
historical  standpoint.  Every  engagement  participated  in  is  de- 
scribed with  interesting  detail.  One  of  its  features,  found  in  no 
other,  is  the  list  of  dead  and  wounded  given  with  each  battle. 
The  appendices  contain  valuable  rosters  of  the  regiment  at  differ- 
ent periods  of  its  service,  personal  records  of  the  enlisted  men, 
and  the  "present  (1885)  post  office  address  of  surviving  members 
of  the  regiment,  as  far  as  reported."  The  author  says  in  his 
preface  that,  "the  matter  contained  in  the  following  pages  was 
prepared  while  we  were  yet  on  the  field,  upon  the  days  immedi- 
ately following  our  marches  and  battles,  while  in  camp  or  biv- 
ouac, or  during  the  long  season  of  rest  upon  Folly  and  Hilton 
Head  Islands".

From  a  literary  and  historical  standpoint,  this  work  stands 
among  the  first  in  Ohio's  literary  contributions  to  the  history  of 
the  Civil  War.  The  author  demonstrates  in  a  high  degree  the 
faculty  of  historical  narrative  and  liis  work  shows  a  power  of 
perspective  in  describing  events  tliat  is  essential  in  writing  his- 
tory. He  describes  the  military  Hfe  of  the  First  Ohio  Volunteer 
Cavalry  by  campaigns,  and  gives  the  record  of  liis  organization 
with  great  detail  and  accuracy.  The  reliability  of  all  actions  and 
movements  is  evidenced  by  the  official  orders  and  records.  The 
interesting  personal  experiences  of  camp  life  and  cavalry  raids 
add  to  the  value  and  attractiveness  of  the  volume.  Separate 
articles  by  the  members  and  officers  of  the  regiment  are  in- 
cluded in  the  history.  It  is  illustrated  profusely  with  maps,  and 
portraits.  The  military  record  of  the  First  Ohio  Cavalry  is 
remarkable  for  its  efficient  and  continuous  service  on  the  field 
and  raid.  It  was  organized  at  Camp  Chase  during  the  months 
of  August,  September  and  October.  The  following  is  the  re- 
markable official  list  of  battles  and  skirmishes  in  which  it  was 
engaged :  Liberty,  Ky.,  November,  1861 ;  Siege  of  Corinth,

During  March  and  April  the  regiment  under  Major  General 
James  H.  Wilson  raided  through  Alabama  and  Georgia  engag- 
ing the  enemy  at  the  following  points :     Montevallo,  Ala.,  March 

20,  1865;  Ebenezer  Church,  Ala.,  April  i,  1865;  Selma,  Ala.,

Ga.,  April  16,  1865 ;  West  Point,  Ga.,  April  16,  1865 ;  Surrender

regiment  participated  in  the  capture  of  Jefferson  Davis,  May  10, 
1865. 

In  the  cavalry  arm  of  the  service  prudence  and  caution  are 
qualities  that  are  useless,  and  the  narrative  of  this  regiment  with 
its  reckless  raids  and  bold  movements  reads  like  a  romance.

A  spirited  description  of  the  pursuit  of  the  rebel  cavalryman, 
Gen.  Joseph  H.  Wheeler,  by  the  2nd  Division  of  Cavalry,  Army 
of  the  Cumberland,  under  General  George  H.  Crook.  In  the 
Second  Brigade  of  this  Division  were  First,  Third  and  Fourth 
Ohio  Cavalry.  The  author,  an  officer  and  a  participant,  gives  a  de- 
tailed and  historical  narrative  of  the  important  movement.  The 
report  of  General  George  H.  Thomas  says  of  this  pursuit  that 
it  was  "unsurpassed  for  its  energy  and  bravery  and  endurance 
of  the  officers  and  men  engaged  in  it,  and  prevented  the  execu- 
tion of  an  extensive  plan  of  destruction  of  our  communications, 
plunder  and  murder  throughout  Middle  Tennessee  and  Northern 
Alabama,  in  which  Roddy  and  Lee  were  to  co-operate  with 
Wheeler". 

This  valuable  monograph  contains  a  map  of  the  raid  and  a

Mr.  Cutler  was  the  grandson  of  Dr.  Manasseh  Cutler  the 
founder  of  the  Northwest  Territory  at  Marietta.  He  was  a 
Whig  of  the  anti-slavery  type  and  in  this  speech  he  forcefully 
and  earnestly  argues  for  the  abolition  of  slavery  by  Congress. 
His  argument  is  based  on  the  proposition  "that  it  is  the  right 
and  duty  of  Congress  to  destroy  every  enemy  that  threatens  the 
national  life;  slavery  is  such  an  enemy.  Therefore,  it  is  the 
right  and  duty  of  Congress  to  destroy  slavery". 

Mr.  Cutler  served  in  the  Ohio  Legislature  in  the  Constitu- 
tional convention  of  185 1  and  in  the  Thirty-Seventh  Congress.

DAVIDSON    (h.   M.)  99 

One  of  the  earliest  titles  of  Ohio  war  history.  Only  two 
hundred  and  fifty  copies  were  printed.  The  organization  was 
formed  from  a  nucleus  gun  squad  at  Ravenna,  Ohio,  which  ex- 
isted before  the  war ;  it  developed  into  one  of  the  finest  batteries 
of  the  Union  army,  and  became  latterly  known  as  "Goodspeed's 
Battery".  It  was  mustered  into  service  September  6,  1861,  at 
Camp  Chase  and  was  mustered  out  July  31,  1865.  It  saw  hard 
service  all  through  the  war  and  was  engaged  in  the  following 
battles:  Dog  Walk,  Ky.,  October  9,  1862;  Stone  River,  Tenn., 
December  31,  1862,  to  January  2,  1863;  TuUahoma  Campaign, 
Tenn.,  June  23-30,  1863;  Hoover's  Gap,  Tenn.,  June  24,  1863; 
Liberty  Gap,  Tenn.,  June  25,  1863;  Chickamauga,  Ga.,  Septem- 
ber 19-20,  1863;  Chattanooga,  Tenn.,  November  23-25,  1863; 
Dalton,  Ga.,  May  9,  1864;  Resaca,  Ga.,  May  13-16,  1864;  Kene- 
saw  Mountain,  Ga.,  June  9-30,  1864;  Peach  Tree  Creek,  Ga., 
July  20,  1864;  Siege  of  Atlanta,  Ga.,  July  28  to  September  2, 
1864;  Columbia,  Tenn.,  November  24-28,  1864;  Spring  Hill, 
Tenn.,  November  29,  1864,  and  Franklin,  Tenn.,  November  30, 
1864.  "Goodspeed's  Battery  A",  did  exceptional  service  at 
Chickamauga  in  recognition  of  which  the  State  of  Ohio  has 
erected  two  granite  tablets  and  a  fine  monument  to  mark  the  posi- 
tions held  by  the  battery  on  that  battlefield.  The  first  tablet 
stands  600  yards  east  of  the  Lafayette  Road  where  the  battery 
first  came  into  action  September  19th;  the  second  marks  the  last 
position  of  the  battery  on  the  evening  of  the  19th.  The  monu- 
ment stands  300  feet  north  of  Kelly's  house,  where  the  battery 
was  engaged  September  20th. 

This  little  history  has  the  creditable  points  of  brevity,  ac- 
curacy and  perspicuity.  The  movements  and  record  of  the  bat- 
tery are  faithfully  recorded,  and  there  is  a  marked  absence  of 
the  minor  and  unimportant  details  so  common  in  most  military 
narration.  The  appendix  (pp.  145-199)  contains  the  military 
biography  of  each  officer  and  private  of  the  organization.  Val- 
uable and  well  written. 

During  the  War,  "Goodspeed's  Battery  A"  served  in  the 
states  of  Kentucky,  Tennessee,  Mississippi,  Alabama  and  Georgia, 
marching  four  thousand  five  hundred  miles,  and  was  transported 
by  the  Government  fifteen  hundred  miles,  making  a  total  of 
travel  of  six  thousand  miles.  It  was  in  thirty-six  skirmishes  and 
nine  important  battles.  It  is  recorded  that  it  hurled  from  its 
guns  thirty  tons  of  metal  at  the  ranks  of  the  Confederacy,  twenty 
five  tons  of  which  were  fired  in  the  Georgia  campaign  of  1864, 
under  General  Sherman.

This  was  one  of  the  earUest  of  war  publications  and  among 
the  first  to  be  contributed  by  an  Ohio  writer.  It  is  a  narrative 
of  horrible  experiences  in  Southern  prisons.  In  the  preface  the 
author  says:  "I  have  endeavored  to  tell  my  tale  as  it  appeared 
to  us  in  prison,  to  add  nothing  for  the  sake  of  embellishment  — 
to  keep  back  nothing  that  would  operate  in  favor  of  the  men 
in  charge  of  us.  All  the  statements  are  the  result  of  personal 
observation,  except  a  few,  which  have  been  referred  to  their 
proper  authorities.  For  their  truth  I  pledge  my  veracity".  The 
appendix  contains  a  list  of  the  names  of  Ohio  soldiers  who  have 
died  in  the  prisons  at  Andersonville,  Georgia,  and  Salisbury, 
North  Carolina.

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  8. 

The  House  having  under  consideration  the  resolution  offered 
by  Mr.  Colfax  proposing  the  expulsion  of  Mr,  Long,  the  Demo- 
cratic member  from  Cincinnati,  Mr.  Davis,  delivered  this  speech, 
in  which  he  stated  the  position  of  the  Republicans.  He  de- 
nounces the  sentiments  of  Mr.  Long  as  treasonable,  and  denies 
his  constitutional  right  to  aid  by  speech  the  public  enemy.  He 
argues  that  when  the  gentleman  from  Ohio  avows  himself  for 
recognition  of  the  Southern  Confederacy  he  advocates  the  dis- 


DAY    (L.   W.)  101 

solution  of  the  United  States.  That  is  treason.  "Suppose," 
says  Mr.  Davis,  "that  in  the  French  Assembly,  when  the  life  of 
France  was  at  stake,  as  the  life  of  this  nation  is  now  at  stake, 
and  when  heroic  men  were  struggling  to  maintain  it,  some  one 
had  arisen  and  proposed  to  call  back  the  Bourbons,  and  place 
the  reins  of  Government  in  their  hands — how  long  would  he 
have  remained  a  member  of  that  body?  Suppose  that  the  day 
before  the  battle  of  Culloden,  or  the  day  after  the  battle  of  Pres- 
ton Pans,  some  Jacobite  had  arisen  in  the  House  of  Commons 
of  England  and  declared  himself  of  the  opinion  that  the  Pre- 
tender could  not  be  expelled  without  the  extermination  of  the 
Jacobites,  and  that  therefore  they  should  place  him  on  the  throne 
of  England?  Do  you  think  the  traditional  liberty  of  speech  in 
England  would  have  saved  him  from  summary  expulsion?  Do 
you  think  there  is  any  law  in  England  that  could  have  stood  be- 
tween him  and,  not  expulsion,  but  death?  Would  not  the  act 
have  been  considered  a  crime,  and  the  declaration  of  it  in  Parlia- 
ment have  been  considered  an  aggravation  of  the  crime,  demand- 
ing his  expulsion?  Would  not  the  vote  of  that  body  have  been 
instantaneous,  and  his  execution  swifter  than  that  vote?"

A  creditable  regimental  history  narrating  in  a  readable  style 
the  career  of  one  of  the  best  Ohio  regiments.  In  its  thirty-eight 
well-written  chapters  are  given  the  trials,  conflicts  and  services 
of  the  organization;  these  are  supplemented  by  five  chapters  of 
individual  prison  experiences  of  as  many  members  of  the  regi- 
ment. The  writer  not  only  draws  upon  his  own  observations 
and  recollections  in  this  volume,  but  he  has  had  full  recourse 
to  many  of  the  diaries,  war  correspondence  and  reminiscences  of 
his  comrades.  The  work  may  be  ranked  among  the  first  class 
Ohio  regimental  histories. 

This  regiment  was  composed  of  young  men  from  the  coun- 
ties of  Erie,  Huron,  Seneca,  Crawford  and  Wyandot  and  was 
organized  and  mustered  in  at  Camp  Monroeville. 

Its  first  service  was  in  defending  Cincinnati  from  the  threat- 
ened raid  of  Kirby  Smith.  Its  record  throughout  the  Rebellion 
was  highly  honorable  and  it  participated  in  the  following  battles : 
Perryville,  Ky.,  October  8, 1862 ;  Nolensville,  Tenn.,  December  26,

ber 30,  1864;  and  Nashville,  Tenn.,  December  15-16,  1864.  After 
the  battle  of  Nashville  this  regiment  followed  in  pursuit  of 
Hood  to  Lexington,  Alabama,  from  whence  it  marched  to  Hunts- 
ville  when  it  was  mustered  out  June  12,  1865. 

A  complete  roster  of  the  regiment,  with  a  brief  biography 
of  each  member  forms  a  valuable  part  of  this  history.

Office.     1866. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  8. 

Mr.  Delano  argued  that  Congress  should  exercise  no  more 
power  over  the  local  legislation  of  the  States  than  is  absolutely 
necessary  to  establish  a  stable  government.  While  he  did  not 
deny  that  the  great  war  power  of  the  government  was  not  lim- 
ited except  by  necessity  and  the  rules  of  civilized  warfare,  in 
times  of  peace  Congress  should  be  careful  to  preserve  the  Con- 
stitutional rights  of  the  individual  States  and  the  general  gov- 
ernment.

He  reviews  the  Republican  policy  of  reconstruction  and

deems  best  before  the  Senators  and  Representatives  of  the  South- 
ern States  are  admitted  to  their  seats.  He  also  maintains  that 
subject  to  this  power,  those  states  never  lost  their  identity  as 
political  units  of  the  Union.  In  other  words,  notwithstanding 
their  acts  of  secession,  they  were  never  out  of  the  Union.  Mr. 
Delano  served  in  the  Twenty-Ninth  and  Thirty-Ninth  Congresses. 
He  was  appointed  Commissioner  of  Internal  Revenue  by  Presi- 
dent Grant  in  1869,  and  was  Secretary  of  the  Interior  from  No-

which  the  House  subsequently  adopted.  Resolved,  That  until 
otherwise  ordered,  the  Committee  on  Claims  be  instructed  to  re- 
ject all  claims  referred  to  them  for  examination'  by  citizens  of 
any  of  the  States  lately  in  rebellion,  growing  out  of  the  destruc- 
tion or  appropriation  of,  or  damage  to,  property  by  the  Army  or

(1898.) 

Pamphlet.     12   mo.   pp.    54. 

Consists  of  a  revised  serial  history  which  appeared  origi- 
nally in  the  Venice  (O.)  Gazette.  Disclaiming  any  literary  abil- 
ity, the  author  says  he  was  "emboldened  to  the  task  of  writing 
because  there  had  been  no  history  of  this  organization  pub- 
lished," and  he  hoped  by  this  means  to  inspire  some  member 
more  capable  to  prepare  a  complete  story  of  its  doings.  If  not, 
then  there  would  be  at  least  what  he  had  prepared  for  the  use  of 
posterity.  While  specific  as  a  regimental  history,  in  general  the 
book  is  a  delineation  of  campaigns,  movements  of  troops,  plans 
of  battles  and  the  changes  in   Brigades,  Divisions,  Corps  and

Dennison  (William) 

Inaugural  Address  of  William  Dennison,  Governor 
of  Ohio ;  delivered  before  the  Senate  and  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives, Jan.  9,  1860.  Columbus:  Richard  Kevins, 
State  Printer.    1860. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  20. 

Governor  Dennison  was  the  first  of  the  "War  Governors" 
of  Ohio.  He  was  born  at  Cincinnati,  November  23,  181 5.  Grad- 
uated from  Miami  College  in  1835  and  adopted  the  law  as  a 
profession.  Elected  to  the  legislature  in  1848.  He  was  chosen 
Governor  of  Ohio  in  1859,  and  served  one  term  only.  At  the 
outbreak  of  the  rebellion  he  took  a  firm  stand  for  the  Union. 
He  was  appointed  Postmaster  General  by  President  Lincoln  in 
1864.     He  died  in  Columbus,  June  15,  1882. 

In  this  inaugural  address  Governor  Dennison  reviews  the 
condition  of  National  aflFairs,  severely  condemns  slavery  for  the 
evils  it  has  brought  upon  the  country  and  pledges  Ohio's  fidelity 
to  the  Union.  The  address  is  very  calm  and  temperate,  with 
evidently  no  expectation  of  the  serious  scenes  and  strife  that 
were  so  soon  to  follow  and  in  which  he  was  to  be  so  prominent 
a  factor.

After  discussing  the  usual  routine  subjects  of  annual  mes- 
sages— public  institutions,  canals,  banks  and  finances — Governor 
Dennison  refers  to  the  perilous  condition  of  the  country  under 
the  existing  threats  of  secession.  The  message  is  a  dignified  and 
statesmanlike  document,  and  its  tone  is  prudent  and  patriotic. 
Its  closing  words  are:  "Relying  on  the  patriotism  of  the  people, 
and  the  Divine  aid  for  the  protection  of  the  Union,  Ohio  calmly 
awaits  the  exigencies  of  the  future."

for  immediate  service.  The  other  proclamations  are  patriotic 
appeals  to  sustain  the  Government,  and  urges  the  people  to  per- 
fect the  military  organizations  as  rapidly  as  possible.  In  the 
proclamation  of  August  29,  1861,  the  Governor  states:  "With- 
out a  regiment  of  troops  at  the  opening  of  hostilities  you  have 
sent  upward  of  thirty  thousand  men  into  the  field  armed  and 
equipped.  By  the  magnitude  of  your  force  you  have  assisted 
the  loyal  men  of  Kentucky  in  protecting  that  State  from  the 
domination  of  rebels."

106  CIVIL   WAR   LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

Cover  title,  "Executive  Documents."  This  proclamatfon 
compliments  those  who  responded  to  the  President's  first  call, 
and  urges  the  necessity  of  organizing  the  troops  with  more  per- 
manency and  efficiency  than  is  possible  with  three  months  en- 
listments. A  call  is  therefore  made  for  those  in  the  service  to 
extend  their  terms  of  enlistment  to  three  years  "unless  the  war 
shall  be  sooner  brought  to  a  successful  termination."

Cover  title  "Executive  Documents."  The  inability  of  the 
Federal  authorities  to  furnish  supplies  of  blankets,  etc.,  to  Ohio 
soldiers  prompted  the  Governor  to  issue  this  appeal  for  dona- 
tions of  clothing  and  other  like  necessities  and  he  urges  the 
Military  Committees  of  the  different  counties  of  the  State  to  call 
for  such  donations,  and  to  forward  the  same  to  the  Quarter- 
Master  General  at  Columbus.

Message  of  the  Governor  of  Ohio,  to  the  Fifty-Fifth 
General  Assembly  at  the  session  commencing  January  6, 
1862.    Columbus:    Kichard  Nevins,  State  Printer.    1862. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  45  and  50  of  Docmnents  Accompanying  the 
Message  of  the  Governor. 

One  of  the  most  comprehensive  and  able  state  papers  of  the 
Civil  War  period  in  Ohio.  To  the  historical  student  it  presents 
the  complete  status  of  the  State  in  relation  to  military  affairs  at 
that  time.  Governor  Dennison  devotes  fifteen  pages  of  his 
message  to  war  matters.  He  refers  for  statistical  details  to 
the  report  of  the  Adjutant  General.  At  this  date  the  whole 
number  of  Ohio  volunteers  amounted  to  100,224,  and  he  esti- 
mates, from  reliable  information,  that  there  are  10,000  soldiers 
from  Ohio  enlisted  in  other  states.  The  message  is  full  of  data 
essential  for  historical  record  and  valuable  in  the  extreme  for  a 
proper  study  of  the  part  Ohio  took  in  the  great  conflict.  The 
documents  accompanying  the  message  embrace  the  war  proc- 
lamations of  the  Governor,  the  reports  of  State  Military  Agents, 
and  the  complete  correspondence  with  the  National  authorities.

ville,  Ohio :    E.  R.  Sullivan,  Printer  and  Binder.    1889. 

Cloth.    Large  8  vo.  pp.  143. 

In  addition  to  the  official  roster  of  the  regiment  this  volume 
contains  much  important  and  original  information  concerning 
the  military  life  of  the  organization.  The  camping  places  of  the 
regiment  with  the  date  of  location  on  the  march  are  accurately 
given  for  each  date  from  October  i,  1861,  to  July  17,  1865. 
The  longest  march  in  any  month  was  355  miles,  in  May  1865. 
The  longest  day's  march  was  32  miles.  The  total  distance  trav- 
eled by  the  regiment  was  7,348  miles,  as  follows :  On  foot  4,391 
miles,  by  railroad  1,757  miles,  and  by  steamboat  r,200  miles. 
The  record  of  events  from  September  6,  1861,  to  July  20,  1865, 
is  the  most  valuable  portion  of  the  volume,  as  it  gives  chrono- 
logically in  brief  style  the  history  of  the  regiment.    The  personal 


108  CIVIL   WAR   LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

experiences  of  officers  and  men  contributed  in  most  cases  by 
themselves  form  an  interesting  story.  The  address  of  Col.  John 
M.  Connell  commander  of  the  regiment,  August  17,  1881  is  an 
authoritative  review  of  the  part  that  the  Seventeenth  played  in  the 
Rebellion. 

Speaking  of  this  regiment,  Whitelaw  Reid  in  his  "Ohio  in 
the  War"  says:  "It  was  in  the  service  from  the  beginning  of  the 
war.  It  was  always  at  the  front  —  never  doing  a  single  day's 
service  in  mere  garrison  duty.  It  served  under  nearly  all  of 
the  most  famous  commanders  —  McClellan,  Buell,  Rosecrans, 
Thomas,  Grant,  Halleck,  Sherman  and  Schofield.  It  held  an 
honorable  place  from  the  first  in  that  noted  corps,  Thomas' 
Fourteenth.  And  it  was  never  driven,  save  at  Chickamauga. 
Even  then  it  quit  the  field  only  under  orders,  and  at  nightfall". 
This  regiment  was  raised  in  Fairfield,  Hocking,  Logan, 
Warren,  Clinton  and  Morgan  counties.  It  participated  in  the 
following  battles  and  engagements:  Wild  Cat,  Ky.,  October  21, 
1861 ;  Mill  Springs,  Ky.,  January  19,  1862 ;  Siege  of  Corinth, 
Miss.,  April  30  to  May  30,  1862;  Perryville,  Ky.,  October  8, 
1862;  Stone  River,  Tenn.,  December  31,  1862  and  January  1-3, 
1863;  Tullahoma  Campaign,  Tenn.,  June  23-30,  1863;  Hoover's 
Gap,  Tenn.,  June  26,  1863;  Chickamauga,  Ga.,  September  19-20,

with  their  postoffice  addresses  is  also  given  in  this  volume.

Personal  observations  and  comments  on  the  battle  of  Chicka-

Cloth.    S  vo.  pp.  XII  and  404,  with  Full  Page  Portrait  and  11  Full

This  is  the  experience  of  C.  L.  Ruggles,  of  the  Twentieth 
Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry,  who  served  as  a  spy  for  the  Union  cause 
under  the  name  of  "General  Bunker".  The  narrative  is  in  the 
first  person,  although  written  by  Major  Downs.  The  volume  is 
intensely  interesting  and  is  a  reliable  account  of  a  marvelous 
career.  Generals  Grant,  McPherson,  Force,  Leggett,  Logan  and 
other  commanders  testify  in  its  pages  to  the  fidelity  and  fear- 
lessness of  his  service.  The  Civil  War  did  not  produce  a  more 
thrilling  record  than  that  of  ''General  Bunker",  the  Ohio  volun-

Valuable  for  its  descriptions  of  the  military  situation  and 
condition  of  Washington  in  May,  1864.  The  most  depressing 
period  of  the  war.  It  was  just  before  General  Grant  started 
through  the  Wilderness,  and  the  prospects  of  the  Nation  were 
wrapped  in  gloom.  In  this  paper  the  author,  stationed  in  Wash- 
ington at  that  time,  contributes  vivid  and  important  historical 
information  concerning  this  period.  It  is  published  in  "Sketches

This  regiment  was  recruited  from  Southern  Ohio,  and  was 
organized  at  Jackson  from  October  5,  1861  to  February  5,  1862. 
It  bore  an  honorable  part  in  the  following  battles :  Shiloh,  Tenn., 
April  6-7,  1862;  Monterey,  Tenn.,  April  28,  1862;  Corinth,  Miss.,

This  history  consists  of  two  parts.  The  first  dealing  with 
the  campaigns  and  movements  of  the  regiment,  and  the  second 
consisting  of  personal  sketches  and  reminiscences.  As  a  faith- 
ful and  well-written  record  of  the  Fifty-Third  Ohio  Volunteer  In- 
fantry it  is  a  valuable  contribution  to  the  history  of  the  war.  It 
was  written  long  enough  after  the  stirring  events  it  records  to 
have  the  benefit  of  the  subsequent  official  war  records  and  these 
the  author  has  used  freely.

soldier.  The  orator  dwells  at  length  on  the  part  Adams  County, 
through  her  soldiers,  contributed  to  the  suppression  of  the  Re- 
bellion and  eulogizes  her  sons  who  fell  in  that  conflict.

The  writer  endeavors  to  separate  the  ofificial  life  of  General 
Cox  from  his  military  career  in  this  monograph.  But  this  only 
serves  to  emphasize  the  fact  that  while  a  member  of  the  State 
Senate  Mr.  Cox  was  appointed  a  Brigadier  General  by  Governor 
Dennison,  and  during  the  latter  part  of  April,  1861,  was  assist- 
ing in  getting  the  State  ready  for  war.  About  that  time  Gen- 
eral George  B.  McClellan  came  to  Ohio  at  the  invitation  of  the 
Governor  to  place  Ohio  on  a  military  footing,  and  at  his  com- 
mand Senator  Cox  was  ordered  to  proceed  to  a  camp  of  instruc- 
tion near  Cincinnati  with  a  full  regiment  and  several  companies 
of  another.  This  was  the  beginning  of  his  active  military  ca- 
reer. Previously  in  the  Legislature  he  always  opposed  anything 
savoring  of  slavery.

Thomas  Ewing,  of  the  earlier  school  of  Ohio  statesmen,  was 
born  near  West  Liberty,  Ohio  County,  Virginia,  December  28, 
1789.  His  father  removed  to  the  Muskingum  River  and  settled 
in  Athens  County,  Ohio.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1816. 
Was  United  States  Senator  from  Ohio  1831-7  and  1850-1.  Was 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury  under  President  Harrison  and  Secre- 
tary of  the  Interior  under  President  Taylor.  During  the  Civil 
War  he  was  a  staunch  supporter  of  President  Lincoln,  and  in  this 
speech  he  pleads  for  the  maintenance  of  the  Union  and  calls  upon 
his  old  Whig  supporters  to  stand  by  the  Union.  He  died  at  Lan- 
caster, Ohio,  October  26,  1871.

to  his  Charges  Against  our  Generals  who  Fought  the  Bat- 
tle of  Shiloh  on  the  6th  of  April,  1862.  Columbus,  Ohio :

EWING    (THOMAS)  117 

Benjamin  Stanton  was  elected  lieutenant-governor  on  the 
ticket  with  Governor  Tod  in  1861 ;  he  had  served  in  the  Thirty- 
Second,  Thirty-Fourth,  Thirty-Fifth  and  Thirty-Sixth  Con- 
gresses. After  the  battle  of  Shiloh  —  whither  he  had  been  sent 
to  look  after  the  sick  and  wounded  Ohio  soldiers  —  he  wrote  a 
report  to  Governor  Tod  harshly  condemning  General  Sherman 
and  the  other  commanding  generals  for  carelessness  and  negli- 
gence, and  stated  that  the  disasters  of  "Sunday,  April  6  were 
the  result  of  surprise,  which  is  partly  chargeable  on  the  com- 
manding ofifiicers." 

In  this  letter  Senator  Ewing  severely  criticises  the  state- 
ments of  Stanton  and  proves  by  the  official  reports  that  he  was 
uninformed  on  the  subject  of  Shiloh,  and  that  the  charges 
against  General  Sherman  were  without  foundation,  and  merely 
the  reiteration  of  newspaper  rumor  and  criticism.  Senator  Ew- 
ing was  the  father-in-law  of  General  Sherman.

This  address  was  delivered  before  a  convention  of  ex-Union 
soldiers  held  about  the  same  time  as  the  Democratic  National 
Convention.  At  that  time  the  great  problem  before  the  country 
was  reconstruction  and  whether  the  policy  of  the  dominant  party 
in  Congress  or  that  of  President  Johnson  be  followed.  Mr. 
Ewing  advised  his  hearers  that  the  Democratic  party  was  then 
the  only  party  true  to  the  Constitution  and  the  Union.  That  the 
Army  and  Navy  did  not  fight  for  negro  suffrage  and  white  dis- 
franchisement; or  for  forcing  on  the  Southern  States  unequal 
fellowship  in  the  Union.

Originally  it  was  the  intention  of  the  author  that  this  should 
be  the  first  volume  of  a  series,  and  it  ends  with  a  description  of 
tlie  engagement  between  the  Monitor  and  the  Merrimac.  The 
only  Ohio  regiment  to  receive  more  than  passing  notice  in  this 
book  is  the  Ninth  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry.  Considering  the 
location  of  the  historian  —  Somerset,  Perry  County,  Ohio  —  so 
far  removed  from  the  scenes  of  active  warfare,  so  much  of  the 
story  of  the  great  National  struggle  as  this  work  contains,  is  well 
told.

This  speech  was  delivered  in  opposition  to  a  joint  resolution 
explanatory  of  "An  Act  to  suppress  insurrection,  to  punish  trea- 
.son  and  rebellion,  to  seize  and  confiscate  the  property  of  rebels, 
and  for  other  purposes."  It  is  one  of  the  strongest  arguments 
against  confiscation  made  in  the  Thirty-Eighth  Congress,  and  lifts 
the  question  above  partisanship,  discussing  it  from  the  standpoint 
of  a  statesman.  The  author  was  a  member  of  the  Thirty-Eighth,

A  plea  for  temperate  treatment  of  the  South.  He  disap-

one  of  the  ablest  of  the  Democratic  congressmen  and  his  speeches

Having  introduced  a  bill  to  repeal  the  test  oath  act  01  July 
2,  1862,  Mr.  Finck  presented  a  forceful  plea  for  its  enactment 
into  law.  While  personally  regarding  the  law  of.  1862  as  uncon- 
stitutional, he  argued  that  it  was  no  longer  necessary,  because  by 
proclamation  on  the  20th  of  May,  1866,  the  President  had 
granted  pardon  and  amnesty  to  (with  a  few  exceptions)  the  en-

be  as  magnanimous  and  forgiving.

November  i,  1861,  to  October  31,  1864.  She  was  affectionately

Cloth.    Large  8  vo.  pp.  424  and  Index,  with  214  Portraits  and 
Engravings  on  66  Full  Pages. 

A  vigorous  and  interesting  biography ;  the  best  that  has  been 
written  of  the  great  War  Minister.  It  gives  in  great  detail 
Stanton's  early  life  in  Ohio,  following  him  through  his  college 
and  professional  career.  It  is  profusely  illustrated  with  por- 
traits and  views  that  are  of  themselves  a  history.  The  docu- 
mentary evidence  cited,  both  personal  and  official,  makes  it  the 
last  word  that  can  be  written  of  Stanton's  life.  The  tremendous 
force  which  he  exercised  in  the  suppression  of  the  Rebellion  has 
never  been  demonstrated  as  in  these  pages.  Stanton  always  kept 
in  touch  with  Ohio  and  her  political  affairs  and  no  temporary 
absence  has  erased  the  fact  that  he  was  always  an  Ohioan  and 
proud  of  his  state. 

Edwin  M.  Stanton  was  born  at  Steubenville,  December  19, 
1814.  For  a  time  in  his  youth  he  attended  a  book  store  in  Colum- 
bus, at  two  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  a  year.  He  was  educated 
at  Kenyon  College,  Gambler,  Ohio,  but  did  not  graduate.  He 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  at  St.  Clairsville,  before  he  was  twenty- 
one  and  settled  down  to  practice  at  Cadiz.  He  plunged  into  poli- 
tics and  was  elected  prosecuting  attorney  of  the  county  in  1837. 
In  1838  he  removed  to  the  place  of  his  birth,  Steubenville,  to 
become  the  partner  of  Benjamin  Tappan,  who  had  been  elected 
United  States  Senator.  Here  he  was  again  an  active  and  influen- 
tial Democrat  in  politics  and  was  a  delegate  in  1840  to  the  Balti- 
more convention.  He  developed  great  ability  as  a  lawyer  and  soon 
became  employed  in  some  of  the  most  famous  cases  in  the  coun- 


124  CIVIL   WAR    LITERATURE  OF  OHIO  ,; 

try.  In  1842-5  he  was  reporter  for  the  Supreme  Court  of  Ohio. 
On  account  of  increasing  law  business  he  removed  to  Pittsburg  in 
1848,  and  for  the  same  reason  he  removed  to  Washington  in 
1857,  because  of  his  practice  in  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
States.  He  entered  President  Buchanan's  cabinet,  December  20, 
i860.  President  Lincoln  appointed  him  Secretary  of  War  on  the 
retirement  of  Simon  Cameron,  January  15,  1862.  The  vigorous 
policy  of  the  war  commenced  on  his  entrance  into  the  cabinet. 
The  vastness  of  his  labors,  his  invincible  courage  and  his  un- 
swerving devotion  to  the  Union  is  portrayed  by  Mr.  Flower  in 
a  manner  that  while  interesting,  and  even  thrilling,  is  faithful 
to  recorded  history.  The  latter  days  of  the  War  Secretary  were 
filled  with  conflicts  with  President  Johnson.  He  died  December 
24,  1869,  and  lies  buried  in  Oak  Hill  Cemetery,  Washington,  D. 
C.

regiment  is  thus  summarized:  "Suffice  it  to  say,  that  on  our 
battle-flag  are  entitled  to  be  written  the  following  facts : 

'Two  years  and  eleven  months  in  the  service ;  more  than 
three  tliousand  miles  traveled,  over  one  thousand  seven  hundred 
of  which  were  on  foot,  with  knapsack  on  the  back  and  enemy 
in  the  front.' 

Hoover's  Gap,  Chickamauga,  Mission  Ridge,  Rocky  Face 
Ridge,  Resaca,  Kenesaw  Mountain,  Peach  Tree  Creek,  Utoy 
Creek,  Jonesboro,  Atlanta,  Savannah  and  Bentonville  are  the 
battles,  leaving  unmentioned  at  least  fifty  such  skirmishes  as 
Phillippi,  Rich  Mountain  and  Scarey  Creek,  which,  in  the  be- 
ginning of  the  war,  when  they  were  fought,  were  thought  to  be 
great  battles.  And  these  are  the  glorious  inscriptions  we  are 
entitled  to  write  upon  our  flag." 

Joseph  Benson  Foraker  was  born  near  Rainsboro,  High- 
land County,  Ohio,  July  5,  1846.  When  sixteen  years  of  age  he 
enlisted  in  the  Eighty-Ninth  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry,  and  served 
in  the  army  of  the  Cumberland  until  the  close  of  the  war.  He 
was  made  sergeant  August  26,  1862,  first  lieutenant  March  14, 
1864,  and  on  March  19,  1865  he  was  brevetted  captain  "for  ef-

ficient  services  during  the  campaigns  in  North  Carolina  and 
Georgia."  In  Sherman's  "March  to  the  Sea"  and  through  the 
Carolinas  he  served  as  signal  officer  on  the  staff  of  Major  General 
H.  W.  Slocum  commanding  the  Fourteenth  and  Twentieth  Corps 
and  called  the  Army  of  Georgia.  When  he  was  mustered  out  he 
was  aide-de-camp  on  General  Slocum's  staff.  He  was  graduated 
in  the  first  class  from  Cornell  in  1869,  and  admitted  to  the  bar 
at  Cincinnati  the  same  year.  In  1879-82  he  was  judge  of  the 
Superior  Court  of  Cincinnati.  He  was  elected  Governor  of  Ohio 
in  1885  and  1887;  was  twice  elected  United  States  Senator,  serv- 
ing from  1897  to  1909.  His  career  has  been  distinguished  by 
great  ability  as  a  lawyer,  statesman  and  orator.  His  addresses 
on  the  rostrum  and  in  the  Senate  cover  all  the  public  questions 
of  his  time,  and  his  utterances  relating  to  the  Civil  War  are  im- 
portant contributions  to  the  literature  on  that  subject.

An  eloquent  and  impressive  eulogy  on  the  work  of  the 
women  of  the  North  in  the  Civil  War.  "Wheresoever  there  was 
a  work  to  do  that  their  hands  could  perform,  there  they  were  to 
perform  it.  By  every  possible  kind  of  ministration  that  tender 
affection  and  loving  solicitude  could  suggest  they  encouraged 
the  sick,  healed  the  wounded,  and  consoled  and  comforted  the 
dying.  Wheresoever  they  could  go,  there  they  were,  in  person, 
veritable  angels  from  the  land  of  peace  on  ministering  errands  of 
mercy ;  and  where  they  could  not  go,  even  there,  through  Sanitary 
Commissions,  aid  societies,  and  instrumentalities  of  that  char- 
acter, they  gave  us  constant  and  practical  demonstration  of  their 
sympathy  and  love  until  it  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  the  wants 
they  relieved,  the  sickness  they  cured,  the  wounds  they  healed, 
the  lives  they  saved,  made  their  work  in  the  preservation  of  our 
National  life  second  only  in  importance  to  that  of  the  army  and 
navy."

With  the  exception  of  Washington,  there  was  no  city  within

and  to  the  further  fact  that  the  Army  of  the  Cumberland,  under 
Thomas,  Rosecrans  and  Buell,  was  the  protecting  breaker  for 
that  city.  He  reminds  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  that  the  great- 
ness, unity  and  prosperity  of  our  country  exists  because  these 
men  succeeded  in  establishing  a  Nation  that  has  no  North,  South,

Senator  Foraker  as  a  private  in  the  ranks  of  the  Eighty- 
Ninth  Ohio  Vohmteer  Infantry  was  with  General  Sherman  in 
his  campaigns  in  Tennessee  and  Georgia  and  followed  him  in 
the  "March  to  the  Sea".  In  this  address  he  pays  a  tribute  to  his 
old  commander  full  of  sincere  eloquence.  But  it  is  more  than 
that ;  it  is  an  analysis  of  Sherman's  character  and  a  review  of  the 
great  General's  influence  on  the  history  of  the  Civil  War. 

"His  sharp,  crisp  and  striking  sentences  fell  upon  the  ear 
like  the  rattle  of  musketry.  He  wrote  as  well  as  he  talked.  He 
had  a  military  directness  and  precision  of  statement  that  was 
almost  classical  in  simplicity  and  strength.  His  letters  are  equal 
to  Napoleon's,  and  his  memoirs  will  be  for  the  Americans  of 
the  future  what  Caesar's  Commentaries  are  for  the  Romans."

ernor    Foraker.      (From   Cincinnati    Enquirer,   May   31, 
1891.)     Cincinnati:    n.  p.    1910. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  jrp. 

On  the  20th  of  March,  1889,  the  General  Assembly  of  Ohio 
appropriated  five  thousand  dollars  to  erect  in  the  National  Ceme- 
tery at  Chattanooga,  Tennessee,  a  monument  at  the  group  of 
graves  in  which  lie  the  bodies  of  eight  of  the  Andrews  Raiders, 
executed  at  Atlanta,  Georgia,  in  June,  1862.  With  the  excep- 
tion of  James  J.  Andrews,  those  buried  there  were  Ohioans,  and 
except  William  Campbell,  who  was  a  civilian,  were  serving  in 
Ohio  regiments  at  the  time  of  their  death.  See  "Ohio  Boys  in 
Dixie." 

To  carry  out  the  provisions  of  the  law,  Governor  J.  B.  For- 
aker appointed  three  commissioners,  viz. :  Thaddeus  A.  Min- 
shall.  Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Ohio,  and  late  Captain  of 
the  Thirty-Third  Ohio  Infantry,  Stephen  B.  Porter,  late  Ser- 
geant of  the  Second  Ohio  Infantry,  and  Earle  W.  Merrey,  late 
Sergeant  Major  of  the  Twenty-First  Ohio  Infantry.  Six  of  the 
executed  men  were  from  these  regiments. 

On  the  completion  of  the  monument  it  was  deemed  fitting 
that  ex-Governor  Foraker  should  deliver  the  dedicatory  address, 
inasmuch  as  it  was  during  his  administration  and  through  his 
encouragement  that  the  project  was  commenced. 

In  this  address  is  given  a  succinct  history  of  the  motive,  pur- 
pose, and  method  of  the  celebrated  movement  against  the  South- 
ern Confederacy  known  as  the  "Andrews  Raid."  Mr.  Foraker 
shows  that  if  it  had  succeeded,  it  would  have  had  the  most  po- 
tential eflFects  on  the  war  of  any  of  the  events  possible  at  the 
time.  No  other  single  occurrence  could  have  been  more  fateful 
to  the  Confederate  cause. 

The  address  also  reviews  the  position  of  the  raiders  in  a 
military  sense,  and  shows  that  they  were  not  spies,  but  soldiers  in 
the  line  of  their  duty,  detailed  by  their  superior  officers  on  a 
specific  mission  against  the  enemy.

acter  and  patriotism.  He  portrays  Bingham's  part  in  the  great 
anti-slavery  agitation  before  the  war,  and  his  influential  power 
at  that  time.  Senator  Foraker  credits  Bingham  as  being  one  of 
the  greatest  characters  in  the  Civil  War  period  and  in  the  subse- 
quent work  of  reconstruction.  The  address  is  scholarly  and 
historical.

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  15. 

The  day  and  the  occasion  united  to  recall  both  the  Revolu- 
tion and  the  Civil  War,  "Both,"  said  Mr.  Foraker,  "began  as 
rebellions.  Both  had  relation  to  natural,  governmental  and 
human  rights.  There  was  no  question  of  territory,  balance  of 
power,  or  international  statecraft  or  diplomacy  in  either.  Both 
broadened  as  they  proceeded,  until  the  issues  finally  joined  and 
determined  were  different,  higher  and  better  than  those  involved 
at  the  beginning." 

He  then  proceeds  to  draw  a  comparison  of  the  principles  in- 
volved in  each  of  these  great  events.  He  traces  the  origin  of  the 
Federal  Constitution,  discusses  the  right  of  secession  and  human 
slavery.  The  address  is  a  valuable  historical  review  of  the  ques- 
tions at  issue  before  and  during  the  war.

ington, D.  C.     (Cincinnati:    n.  p.     1910.) 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  4. 

This  address  is  a  eulogy  on  General  Rosecrans,  the  soldier, 
as  well  as  a  review  of  his  military  service.  The  orator  spoke 
"as  a  representative  of  the  State  of  his  (Rosecrans')  birth,  and 
the  State  to  which  he  always  looked  as  his  home,  and  also  as 
a  humble  representative  of  the  army  he  commanded  when  he 
rendered  his  most  conspicuous  service."  General  Rosecrans  en- 
tered the  military  service  of  the  Civil  War  as  Colonel  of  the 
Twenty-Third    Ohio    Regiment.     Referring    to    this    regiment,

130  CIVIL   WAR   LITERATURE   OF  OHIO 

Senator  Foraker  said:  "In  that  organization  there  was  the  most 
remarkable  collection  of  great  men,  who  were  destined  to  ren- 
der distinguished  public  services.  With  Rosecrans  as  Colonel 
were  associated  E.  P.  Scammon,  who  afterwards  became  a 
prominent  General  in  the  Union  Army;  Stanley  Matthews,  who 
subsequently  became  an  Associate  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court 
of  the  United  States;  Rutherford  B.  Hayes,  who  made  a  splen- 
did record  as  a  soldier,  attaining  the  rank  of  Major  General  of 
Volunteers,  and  afterwards  became  President  of  the  United 
States;  and  William  McKinley,  who  rose  from  the  rank  of  pri- 
vate in  Company  E  of  that  regiment  to  be  its  Major,  and  whose 
name  as  President  of  the  United  States  has  become  famous  to 
the  whole  world." 

Senator  Foraker  served  in  the  Army  of  the  Cumberland 
when  it  was  commanded  by  General  Rosecrans.

and  Navy.  (Washington,  D.  C. :  Government  Printing 
Office.    1903.) 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  25. 

This  is  a  report  by  Senator  Foraker  from  the  Committee 
on  Military  Affairs  of  the  Senate.  It  recommends  the  passage 
of  a  bill  authorizing  and  directing  the  Secretary  of  War  to  ascer- 
tain the  locations  and  condition  of  all  the  graves  of  the  soldiers 
of  the  Confederate  Army  and  Navy  in  the  Civil  War,  who  died 
in  Federal  prisons  and  military  hospitals  in  the  North,  and 
who  were  buried  near  their  places  of  confinement.  It  also  pro- 
vided that  the  Government  should  acquire  possession  or  con- 
trol of  all  grounds,  where  said  dead  are  buried  not  now  possessed 
by  it  or  under  its  control.  Two  hundred  thousand  dollars  are 
appropriated  to  carry  out  the  objects  of  the  bill. 

The  report  recites  that  these  Confederate  prisoners  are 
buried  in  different  places.  Their  number  is  about  30.152.  It  is 
estimated  that  it  will  cost  to  carry  this  legislation  into  eft"ect  in 
the  neighborhood  of  $200,000. 

The  necessity  for  making  the  provision  contemplated  by 
this  bill  arose  from  the  fact  that  there  was  no  one  in  charge  of 
these  cemeteries.  These  in  many  cases  were  in  a  state  of  utter 
neglect,  the  inclosures  being  in  a  dilapidated  condition,  and  the 
headboards  of  the  graves  having  long  since  rotted  away. 

All  these  facts  are  fully  set  forth  in  exhibits  attached  to  the 
report  prepared  by  the  War  Department,  and  from  data  compiled

A  critical  analysis  of  the  career  of  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant figures  of  the  Civil  War  Period.  As  anti-slavery  leader. 
Governor  of  Ohio.  United  States  Senator,  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury  and  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court,  Salmon  P. 
Chase  is  herein  presented  as  a  man  of  great  ability,  patriotism 
and  integrity,  and  at  the  same  time  his  weaknesses  and  mistakes 
are  not  concealed.  This  address  is  an  historical  review  of  the 
life  and  times  of  Chase,  and  he  is  given  the  fullest  credit  for 


132  CIVIL   WAR   LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

the  masterful  influence  he  exercised  on  men  and  events  in  his 
day.  As  an  estimate  of  his  character  Senator  Foraker  con- 
cludes: "Already  he  has  taken  his  proper  place  in  history,  and 
in  the  appreciation  of  the  American  people,  as  the  great  figure 
he  really  was  —  a  strong,  massive,  patriotic,  fearless  and  con- 
trolling character  in  the  settlement  of  the  mighty  questions  that 
shook  to  their  foundations  the  institutions  of  our  government. 
He  will  be  remembered  also  for  the  purity  of  his  life,  for  his 
domestic  virtues,  for  his  deeply  religious  nature,  ever  depend- 
ing on  Divine  help,  and  for  that  love  and  zeal  for  humanity 
that  mdde  him  brave  social  ostracism  and  sacrifice,  if  necessary, 
all  chance  of  personal  political  preferment  that  he  might  cham- 
pion the  cause  of  the  slave  and  break  the  power  that  held  him 
in  fetters.  In  the  light  of  true  history  the  consistency  of  his 
conduct  will  not  be  determined  by  the  record  of  his  party  affilia- 
tions, but  by  the  constancy  of  his  devotion  to  the  cause  that 
filled  his  heart  and  dominated  all  his  political  actions.  Measured 
by  that  test,  few  men  have  run  a  straighter  course  or  done  more 
to  merit  a  high  place  in  the  esteem  of  their  countrymen." 

This  address  was  delivered  upon  the  invitation  of  the  United 
States  Circuit  Court,  and  the  Bar  of  Illinois.  As  a  literary  pro- 
duction it  is  the  best  of  Senator  Foraker's  public  utterances  and 
is  a  fine  example  of  historical  style,  pure  diction  and  chaste  ex- 
pression.

Tenn.,  October  17,  1906.     (Cincinnati:    n.  p.    1906.) 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  20. 

In  this  address  Senator  Foraker  enters  into  a  discussion  of 
the  problems  of  the  South,  especially  the  race  problem.  He  re- 
views the  war  and  its  results,  the  greatest  of  which  was  the 
preservation  of  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States.  After  a 
full  review  he  pronounces  the  movement  for  secession  "causeless, 
indefensible  and  in  the  light  of  subsequent  events,  grotesquely 
absurd".

General  Gibson  born  in  Jefferson  County,  Ohio,  May  16, 
1822,  organized  the  Forty-Ninth  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  early 
in  1861.  He  had  a  brilliant  record  in  the  war.  His  reputation 
as  an  orator  in  Ohio  ranks  him  next  to  Thomas  Corwin.  In 
this  address  Senator  Foraker  dwells  upon  General  Gibson's 
qualities  and  character.  He  refers  to  his  great  powers  of  ora- 
tory, especially  in  the  war  time  period,  and  pays  a  glowing 
tribute  to  his  gallantry  on  the  battle  fields  of  Shiloh  and  Stone 
River.

conditions  as  to  legislation.  He  argues  that  the  primary  pur- 
pose of  the  war  was  to  preserve  the  Federal  Constitution  and 
declares  now  that  the  primary  purpose  of  our  government  is 
to  maintain  and  preserve  it,  so  that  every  citizen  should  be  pro-

prevalent  in  the  South.  He  condemns  the  sentiment  that  would 
exalt  Wirz  of  Andersonville,  and  characterizes  the  erection  of  a 
monument  to  him  as  not  calculated  to  promote  good  will  between 
the  North  and  South.  The  objectionable  inscriptions  on  the

General  Force  reminded  the  Conference  that  Soldiers' 
Homes  are  not  charitable  institutions,  but  are  maintained  as  a 
return  for  services  rendered.  Briefly,  but  clearly,  he  detailed 
the  operation  of  the  Ohio  Home  at  Sandusky.  It  was  governed 
by  military  rules,  he  said,  because  among  its  inmates  were  some 
men  who  require  discipline,  and  they  were  used  to  military 
routine  and  orders  from  men  with  military  titles.

FULLER   (JOHN  W.)  137 

The  effort  of  the  author,  as  he  declares  himself,  is  to  give 
in  this  narrative  a  statement  of  the  facts  of  Sherman's  military 
life  without  comment.  Owing  to  failure  of  health  General 
Force  was  unable  to  finish  this  work,  and  he  called  upon  Gen- 
eral J.  D.  Cox  to  write  the  period  from  the  Expedition  to 
Meridian  to  the  setting  out  upon  the  march  to  the  sea,  and  the 
entire  period  subsequent  to  the  grand  review  at  Washington. 
Inasmuch  as  General  Cox  was  an  active  participant  of  these 
■events  it  has  added  to  rather  than  detracted  from  the  book.

Besides  the  sermon  this  pamphlet  contains  the  correspond- 
ence with  reference  to  its  publication  and  the  Times's  "descrip- 
tion of  the  excitement"  attending  its  delivery.  The  Sixth  Street 
church  was  filled  to  overflowing,  and  the  crowd  surrounding  it 
was  so  dense  that  the  pastor  himself  was  unable  to  gain  entrance. 
After  considerable  delay,  the  opera  house  was  secured,  but  was 
found  too  small  for  the  multitude.  The  text  was  Second  Sam- 
uel, 3 :  38 ;  "Know  ye  not  that  a  Prince  and  a  great  man  has  fallen 
this  day  in  Israel."

An  argument  taking  the  position  that  the  Southern  States

by  the  administration.  He  criticises  Mr.  Lincoln  for  his  attitude

service  of  which  they  themselves  were  a  part.  To  the  future 
historian  and  student  of  the  war  of  the  Rebellion,  writings  such 
as  these,  and  the  "War  Sketches"  of  the  Ohio  Commandery  of 
the  Loyal  Legion,  will  be  invaluable.  Indeed,  to  form  a  true 
idea  of  the  work  of  the  rank  and  file,  such  literature  with  the 
regimental  histories  are  the  only  resources  left  for  coming  gen-

Report  of  Select  Committee  to  whom  was  referred

day, January  7,  1861.  Being  the  fifth  Legislature  under

Nevins,  State  Printer.    1861.    Pages  69-73. ) 

This  bill  was  introduced  by  Senator  J.  A.  Garfield,  and  it 
was  referred  to  him  as  a  select  committee  of  one  to  report  there- 


GARFIELD   ( JAMES  A.)  141 

on.  Mr.  Garfield  at  this  time  was  the  leader  of  what  was  known 
as  the  "Radical  Triumvirate"  of  the  Senate.  His  associates  in 
this  connection  were  J.  D.  Cox  and  James  Monroe;  one  after- 
wards distinguished  himself  as  General,  Governor  of  Ohio  and 
Secretary  of  the  Interior ;  and  the  other  served  in  Congress  from 
the  Oberlin  District  and  was  also  sent  abroad  in  a  diplomatic 
capacity  by  Mr.  Lincoln. 

This  report  written  by  Mr.  Garfield  was  submitted  to  the  Sen- 
ate April  15,  1861,  two  days  after  the  firing  upon  Fort  Sumter. 
It  is  his  first  written  expression  relating  to  the  Civil  War.  In  it 
he  reviews  in  a  scholarly  and  judicial  manner  the  law  of  treason, 
quoting  from  Federal  and  State  authorities  on  the  subject.  He 
says :  "It  should  at  any  time  startle  us  that  all  the  acts  of  dis- 
loyalty and  treachery  enumerated  in  this  bill  may  be  committed 
against  the  State  of  Ohio,  and  yet  subject  the  offender  to  no 
other  charge  than  trespass,  or  malfeasance  in  oflfice.  Shall  Ohio 
visit  the  extreme  penalty  of  the  law  upon  the  murderer  of  a 
citizen,  and  yet  be  powerless  against  him  who  shall  plot  the  ruin 
of  the  State?" 

Again :  "It  is  high  time  for  Ohio  to  enact  a  law  to  meet 
treachery  when  it  shall  take  the  form  of  an  overt  act — to  pro- 
vide that  when  her  soldiers  go  forth  to  maintain  the  Union,  there 
shall  be  no  treacherous  fire  in  the  rear.  It  is  time  for  Ohio 
to  declare  to  all  her  citizens  and  to  all  her  sister  States,  that 
the  prosperity  of  the  Union  is  her  prosperity — its  friends  her 
friends — its  enemies  her  enemies — its  honor  her  honor — its 
destiny  her  destiny — and  whosoever  strikes  a  blow  at  its  life, 
strikes  also  at  hers." 

James  A.  Garfield  was  born  at  Orange,  Cuyahoga  County, 
Ohio,  November  17,  1831.  He  graduated  from  Williams  Col- 
lege in  1856.  In  1857  he  was  made  president  of  Hiram  Col- 
lege at  Hiram,  Portage  County,  Ohio.  In  1859  he  was  elected  to 
the  State  Senate  of  Ohio.  In  1861  Governor  William  Dennison 
commissioned  him  lieutenant  colonel  of  the  Forty-Second  Ohio 
Volunteer  Infantry.  His  military  career  is  referred  to  in  the 
notes  following.  He  was  elected  President  of  the  United  States 
in  1880.  He  died  September  19,  1881,  as  the  result  of  an  as- 
sassin's bullet.

General  Garfield  entered  the  Thirty-Eighth  Congress  De-' 
cember  3,  1863.  Before  leaving  the  army  he  had  been  promoted 
to  a  Major  Generalship  of  Volunteers  "for  gallant  and  meritori- 
ous service  at  the  battle  of  Chickamauga",  to  take  rank  from 
the  19th  of  September,  1863.  He  took  high  rank  in  Con- 
gress from  the  day  of  his  entrance.  His  military  reputation  had 
preceded  and  secured  for  him  a  place  on  the  Committee  en  Mili- 
tary Affairs,  then  the  most  important  in  the  House.  He  was 
soon  regarded  as  an  authority  on  military  matters  and  his  opin- 
ions were  sought  and  listened  to. 

This  speech  was  the  first  important  one  that  General  Gar- 
field delivered  in  Congress.  It  discusses  elaborately  and  with 
authority  one  of  the  gravest  questions  of  legislation,  at  that 
time.  The  confiscation  of  property  for  treason  attracted  the  at- 
tention of  Congress  early  in  the  war.  August  6,  186 1,  tlie  first 
confiscation  act  was  passed,  and  on  July  17,  1862,  a  much  more 
rigorous  and  sweeping  act  was  passed.  Some  objection  was 
made  to  it  that  it  conflicted  with  the  Constitution.  January  7, 
1864,  a  joint  resolution  explanatory  of  the  act  was  introduced 
in  the  House.  It  was  on  consideration  of  this,  January  28,  that 
General  Garfield  spoke.  He  reviews  the  law  and  history  of 
confiscation  of  property  for  treason  in  England  and  the  colonies 
and  lends  to  the  discussion  the  charm  of  historical  precedent  and 
events.     He  aggressively  sustains  the  law  as  just  and  necessary.

General  Garfield  in  this  speech  examines  the  situation  of 
national  affairs  resulting  from  the  war,  the  restoration  of  the 
states  lately  in  rebellion  and  what  is  necessary  to  bring  the  Re- 
public back  to  full  liberty  and  peace.  It  is  scholarly  and  full  of 
historical  citations  and  precedents.

This  was  the  celebrated  Knights  of  the  Golden  Circle  case. 
In  September  and  October,  1864,  Lambdin  P.  Milligan,  William 
A.  Bowles  and  Stephen  Horsey  of  Indiana,  were  arrested  by  or- 
der of  Major  General  A.  P.  Hovey,  commanding  the  Military 
District  of  Indiana.  On  October  21,  they  were  placed  on  trial  at 
Indianapolis  on  the  following  charges  preferred  by  Major  Henry 
L.  Burnett,  Judge  Advocate  of  the  Northwestern  Military  Dis- 
trict: I,  Conspiracy  against  the  Government  of  the  United 
States;  2,  Affording  aid  and  comfort  to  rebels  against  the  Gov- 
ernment of  the  United  States ;  3,  Inciting  insurrection ;  4,  Disloyal 
practices;  5,  Violations  of  the  laws  of  war.  The  Commission 
overruling  the  objection  of  the  accused  against  its  authority  to 
try  them,  proceeded  with  the  case,  pronounced  them  guilty  and 
sentenced  them  to  death  by  hanging.  The  sentence  was  ap- 
proved, but  before  the  day  set  for  execution,  the  President  com- 
muted it  to  imprisonment  for  life,  and  they  were  sent  to  the 
Ohio  Penitentiary.  Having  been  denied  a  writ  of  habeas  corpus, 
the  attorneys  carried  their  case  to  the  Supreme  Court  of  the 
United  States.  On  the  last  day  of  the  December  term,  1865, 
Chief  Justice  Chase  announced  the  granting  of  the  prayer  of 
the  accused.  The  Order  of  Court  is  printed  with  General 
Garfield's  argument.

On  the  first  anniversary  of  his  assassination,  General  Gar- 
field paid  a  short  but  very  beautiful  tribute  to  the  memory  of 
President  Lincoln.  With  respect  to  the  War  period  just  ended, 
he  said,  "it  had  been  marked  by  wonderful  development  of  indi- 
vidual character.  Thousands  of  our  people  before  unknown  to 
fame  have  taken  their  places  in  history  crowned  with  immortal 
honors.  *  *  *  gut  greatest  among  all  these  *  *  ♦ 
were  the  character  and  fame  of  Abraham  Lincoln."  He  declared 
the  assassination  not  the  work  of  one  man  alone,  "the  act  was 
the  embodied  spirit  of  treason  and  slavery  inspired  with  fearful 
and  despairing  hate."

In  this  speech  to  his  constituents  General  Garfield  reviews 
the  political  conditions  existing  after  the  war.  He  dwells  at 
length  on  financial  and  military  affairs,  and  discusses  the  restora-

position  of  President  Johnson  and  his  policy  of  reconstruction.

Asserting  that  the  Nation  was  summoned  to  arms  by  every 
high  motive  that  can  inspire  men,  he  said  "we  began  the  war  for 
the  Union  alone;  but  we  had  not  gone  far  out  into  the  dark- 
ness before  a  new  element  was  added  to  the  conflict  which  filled 
the  army  and  the  Nation  with  cheerful  but  intense  religious  en- 
thusiasm. In  lessons  that  could  not  be  misunderstood,  the  Na- 
tion was  taught  that  God  had  linked  to  our  own,  the  destiny  of 
an  enslaved  race  —  that  their  liberty  and  our  Union  was  "one 
and  inseparable."  The  oration  abounded  with  eloquent  tributes 
to  the  American  soldier.

On  April  23,  1870,  The  Richmond  (Va.)  Dispatch  published 
a  letter  from  General  Fitzhugh  Lee  in  which  the  assertion  was 
made  that  just  before  the  war,  General  Thomas's  feelings  were 
decidedly  Southern;  that  in  1861,  he  expressed  his  intention  of 
resigning  his  commission  in  the  U.  S.  Army,  and  that  about  the 
same  time  he  sent  a  letter  to  Governor  Letcher  proffering  his 
services  to  Virginia.  Respecting  the  truth  of  these  and  similar 
statements,  which  he  asserted  none  dared  to  even  hint  at  during 
General  Thomas's  lifetime.  General  Garfield  made  diligent  in- 
quiry. The  result  was  the  complete  vindication  of  General 
Thomas's  memory,  the  evidence  secured  being  fully  and  ably  pre- 
sented in  this  address.  An  attached  appendix  contains  a  roster 
of  the  Second  U.  S.  Cavalry  in  i860,  with  the  date  of  resigna- 
tion of  those  who  went  into  the  Rebel  service.  Also  correspond-

Co.  E,  Second  Ohio  Cav.  New  York  and  Washington:

Cloth.    8  vo.    pp.  384,  ivith  ii  Full  Page  Portraits  and  i  Illustration. 

While  this  is  a  personal  narrative  of  army  experiences,  it  is 
also  practically  a  history  of  the  campaigns,  privations  and  en- 
gagements of  the  Second  Ohio  Volunteer  Cavalry.  It  is  one  of 
the  best  contributions  to  Ohio  regimental  literature.  The  writer 
was  a  good  observer  and  has  given  his  readers  one  of  the  most 
interesting  narrations  of  varied  and  thrilling  military  service. 
Commencing  with  camp  life  at  Cleveland  during  the  organization 
of  the  regiment,  he  chronologically,  yet  without  formality,  gives 
the  service  of  himself  and  comrades  on  the  Indian  Frontier,  in 
Kentucky,  Tennessee,  and  in  Virginia.  In  1863  they  were  on 
General  Morgan's  trail  through  Ohio  and  were  in  at  the  capture 
under  their  gallant  Colonel  A.  V.  Kautz,  afterwards  General. 
They  were  under  General  Wilson  in  his  raid  through  Virginia, 
under  Sheridan  at  Winchester  and  Cedar  Creek  and  under  Cus- 
ter at  Lacey's  Springs.  The  whole  narrative  reads  like  a  novel 
but  every  page  records  simple  history.  No  better  conception 
of  army  life  and  cavalry  service  has  been  written. 

The  Second  Regiment  of  Ohio  Volunteer  Cavalry  was  re- 
cruited and  organized  under  the  direction  of  U.  S.  Senator 
Benjamin  F.  Wade  and  Hon.  John  Hutchins  at  Camp  Wade, 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  in  the  summer  and  fall  of  1861.  It  has  the 
record  as  detailed  in  this  work  of  campaigning  through  the  states 
of  Kansas,  Missouri,  Arkansas,  Illinois,  Ohio,  Kentucky,  Ten- 
nessee, Georgia,  Alabama,  West  Virginia,  Maryland,  Virginia, 
and  Indian  Territory.  It  marched  twenty-seven  thousand  miles, 
and  served  in  five  different  armies.  It  was  engaged  honorably 
and  gallantly  in  the  following  battles  and  engagements : 

Independence,  Mo.,  Prairie  Grove,  Ark.,  Carthage,  Mo., 
Newtonia,  Mo.,  Cow  Hill,  Ark.,  Wolf  Creek,  Ark.,  White  River,

Beyond  the  Lines:  or,  A  Yankee  Prisoner  Loose  in

staif,  with  an  introduction  by  Rev.  Alexander  Clark.  Phil-

Illustrations. 

The  writer  belonged  to  the  Forty-Eighth  Ohio  Volunteer 
Infantry  and  served  on  the  staff  of  General  R.  P.  Buckland.  He 
was  captured  at  Shiloh  and  in  this  volume  he  tells,  to  use  his 
own  language,  "how  I  was  tried  for  my  life  before  prominent 
Rebel  Generals,  among  whom  were  Bragg  and  Beauregard ;  how 
I  was  subsequently  chained  with  negro  chains  and  cast  into  mili- 
tary prisons  and  common  jails ;  how,  escaping  from  these  in  com- 
pany with  Lieutenant  A.  P.  Collins,  I  made  my  way  to  the 
swamps ;  how  we  lived  in  these  malarious  marshes  for  three 
weeks ;  how  we  were  hunted  with  blood  hounds ;  how  we  were 
assisted  by  slaves  in  our  flight,  and  lastly,  how,  being  recaptured, 
we  spent  weary  months  in  confinement,  and  were  finally  released 
on  exchange  from  our  dreadful  captivity". 

This  volume  is  one  of  the  early  publications  of  the  war, 
written  for  popular  consumption.  As  a  rule  they  do  not  show 
literary  ability  but  are  valuable  for  their  simple  narrative  and 
first  hand  experience.

without  leaving  a  trace.  The  paper  is  of  intense  interest  and  one 
of  the  most  attractive,  if  that  term  can  be  applied  to  such  a  grue-

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  76. 

This  is  a  history  of  the  Eighty-Third  Ohio  Volunteer  In- 
fantry. "The  diaries  of  four  faithful  members  of  the  regiment, 
together  with  his  own,  have  guided  the  author  in  his  work,  and, 
except  in  a  few  minor  details,  all  have  agreed."  This  regiment 
was  composed  principally  of  men  from  Hamilton,  Butler,  War- 
ren and  Putnam  counties.  The  writer  has  faithfully  and  in  an 
interesting  style  told  the  story  of  his  organization.  He  records 
in  detail  its  marches  and  travels,  giving  the  miles  from  each  point 
and  showing  the  following  result:  By  rail,  614  miles;  by 
steamer,  7,180  miles;  marched  1831  miles,  making  a  total  of  9,625 
miles.  He  gives  the  following  list  of  battles  in  which  his  regi- 
ment took  part:  Chickasaw  Bluffs,  Miss.,  December  28  to  31, 
1862;  Fort  Hindman,  Ark.,  January  11,  1863;  Greenville,  Miss.,

man.

Cloth.     12  mo.  pp.  511,  with  Full  Page  Portrait. 

In  this  volume  are  Mr.  Giddings'  noted  anti-slavery  speeches 
up  to  the  date  of  publication.  He  was  the  leading  abolitionist 
of  Ohio  before  the  war,  and  his  agitation  of  the  slavery  ques- 
tion did  more  to  arouse  public  sentiment  on  that  subject  in  his 
state  than  the  utterances  of  any  other  public  man.  His  speeches 
are  inseparably  connected  with  the  literature  of  the  Civil  War. 

Joshua  R.  Giddings  was  born  at  Athens,  Pa.,  October  6, 
1795.  He  was  admitted  to  the  Ohio  bar  in  1820,  and  elected  a 
member  of  the  Ohio  Legislature  in  1826.  He  was  elected  to 
Congress  in  1838  and  served  for  twenty  consecutive  years.  In 
his  speeches  he  prophesied  the  Civil  War  and  as  a  political  aboli- 
tionist sought  to  hasten  it  by  an  uncompromising  warfare  against 
slavery.  In  1861  President  Lincoln  appointed  him  Consul  Gen- 
eral to  Canada.  While  occupying  that  position  he  died  at  Mon- 
treal, May  27,  1864.

This  work  is  mainly  devoted  to  the  Congressional  debates 
on  the  slavery  question  and  an  exposition  of  the  action  of  the 
government  relative  thereto.  It  covers  the  whole  period  from 
the  commencement  of  the  Nation  to  the  Emancipation  Proclama-

The  author  in  the  preparation  of  this  work  has  had  free 
recourse  to  a  number  of  diaries  kept  by  members  of  his  regiment 
throughout  its  term  of  service.  The  result  is  an  entertaining  and 
faithful  record  of  its  heroes,  its  marches,  its  battles  and  its  service 
at  the  front.  This  regiment  was  one  of  those  that  responded  to 
President  Lincoln's  call  for  three  hundred  thousand  more  troops 
on  the  first  of  July,  1862.  It  was  recruited  in  Harrison,  Bel- 
mont, Tuscarawas,  Jefferson,  Carroll,  Fairfield,  and  Perry 
counties,  and  was  organized  and  mustered  in  at  Camp  Steuben- 
ville,  Ohio,  in  September  and  October,  1862. 

This  history  gives  the  record  of  the  regiment  by  years,  and 
in  chronological  form  narrates  the  incidents  of  service  and  the 
military  life  of  the  organization.  It  also  contains  (pp.  130-211) 
a  complete  roster  of  the  field  and  staff.  The  appendix  contains 
an  original  poem  by  the  chaplain  of  the  regiment,  Rev.  J.  K. 
Andrews,  and  biographical  sketches  of  its  officers  killed  in  bat-

A  very  voluminous  narration  of  the  trials,  tribulations,  con- 
flicts, legislation  and  litigation  of  the  Monument  Commission, 
together  with  the  various  proceedings  and  celebrations  up  to 
the  dedication  of  the  monument.  The  Roll  of  Honor  (pp.  627-

women  of  Cuyahoga  County  that  devoted  themselves  to  their

This  monument  was  designed  and  constructed  by  Captain 
Levi  T.  Scofield  of  Cleveland;  as  a  member  of  the  Commission 
he  originated  the  artistic  ideas  pervading  it,  and  had  personal 
supervision  of  the  work  from  beginning  to  end.  He  was  born 
in  Cleveland,  November  9,  1842.  He  entered  the  army  as  a 
member  of  Company  D,  First  Ohio  Light  Artillery  and  re-en- 
listed when  his  term  expired,  in  the  One  Hundred  and  Third 
Regiment  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry,  becoming  a  captain  in  No- 
vember, 1864,  dividing  his  service  between  the  infantry  and  en- 
gineer corps.  He  has  distinguished  himself  as  artist,  architect 
and  soldier.  For  his  contribution  to  the  literature  of  the  Civil 
War,  see  "Scofield,  Levi  T."

This  address  gives  the  history  of  the  regiment  as  well  as 
reminiscences  of  the  short  army  life  of  the  organization.  It 
was  one  of  the  hundred  days'  regiments  and  for  the  period  of 
its  service  performed  the  duty  assigned  it.  This  regiment  was 
organized  at  Cleveland,  May  5,  1864,  and  was  mustered  out 
August  23,  1864.  In  the  neighborhood  of  Washington,  D.  C, 
it  garrisoned  Forts  Lincoln,  Saratoga,  Thayer,  Bunker  Hill,  Slo- 
cum,  Totten  and  Stevens.  It  remained  in  these  forts  during  the 
whole  term  of  its  service,  and  participated  in  the  fight  before 
Washington  with  a  part  of  Early's  Corps  July  10  and  11, 
1864.  This  organization  was  recruited  from  Cuyahoga  and  ad- 
joining counties.  The  first  lieutenant  of  Company  C.  was  Mar- 
cus A.  Hanna,  afterwards  United  States  Senator  from  Ohio,  and 
one  of  the  privates  of  Company  K  was  George  K.  Nash,  after- 
wards Governor  of  Ohio.  In  this  address  many  interesting  facts 
concerning  the  personnel  of  the  regiment  are  given.

Eighty  thousand  white  Kentuckians  entered  the  Union  Army, 
and  the  sentiment  of  the  State  was  opposed  to  secession.  In 
this  paper  the  writer  demonstrates  that  there  never  were  suffi- 
cient votes  in  the  Legislature,  nor  among  the  people  of  the 
State,  to  take  Kentucky  out  of  the  Union.  He  narrates  the 
history  of  the  Union  movement,  and  of  the  patriotic  struggle 
made  by  the  Unionists  to  defeat  secession,  which  they  eventually 
did.

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  16. 

A  very  remarkable  publication  indicating  the  spirit  of  the 
times.  The  Committee  making  this  was  composed  of  George 
Graham  and  John  W.  Hartwell  of  Cincinnati.  They  concluded 
that  the  best  way  to  provide  for  the  newly  liberated  slaves  would 
be  "by  taking  possession  of  the  property  of  known  rebels  by 
military  authority  or  under  an  act  of  confiscation,  and  as  fast 
as  the  army  takes  possession  of  the  vacated  property  of  such 
rebels,  let  it  be  transferred  to  the  Union  Government,  and  under 
a  proper  system  rented  and  leased  to  loyal  men,  who  would  em- 
ploy the  freedmen  to  cultivate  the  lands  under  a  system  of 
monthly  or  daily  pay  for  their  labor".  The  report  closes  with 
a  series  of  resolutions  urging  the  establishment  at  Washington 
of  a  bureau  to  look  after  the  interests  of  the  freedmen.

1881.    Akron,  Ohio:   Beacon  Publishing  Co.     1881. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  65. 

The  contribution  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  to  the 
Civil  War  Hter'ature  of  Ohio  consists  wiiolly  of  the  printed  pro- 
ceedings of  its  annual  Encampments,  in  which  are  preserved  its 
transactions,  records  and  the  addresses  delivered  on  those  occa- 
sions, together  with  the  annual  reports  of  its  officers. 

The  proceedings  of  1881  are  the  first  printed  in  pamphlet 
form  under  official  authority.  Prior  to  this  date  there  is  no 
permanent  printed  record. 

The  Department  of  Ohio,  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic,  was 
organized  as  a  permanent  organization  January  30th,  1867,  and 
on  the  30th  of  December,  1868,  reported  three  hundred  and  three 
organized  Posts  in  the  Department,  representing  a  membership 
of  about  thirty  thousand.  Commencing  in  1869,  the  Order  be- 
gan to  languish  and  lose  membership,  owing  to  internal  defects, 
so  that  at  the  Sixth  Encampment  at  Cleveland  in  1872  but  fifty 
Posts  had  survived,  having  an  estimated  membership  of  five  thou- 
sand, and  the  Inspector  General  reported  the  Department  in  a 
very  low  state.  In  1874  but  eight  Posts  with  a  membership  of 
three  hundred  and  eighty-three  were  reported  in  good  standing. 

In  this  report  there  is  marked  evidence  of  a  revival  of  the 
organization.  The  membership  on  December  30,  1880,  is  record- 
ed as  2,237,  with  thirty-five  Posts  in  good  standing,  which  is  a 
gain  of  1,138  over  the  preceding  year.  This  pamphlet  contains 
the  annual  reports  of  the  various  officers  and  committees;  also 
the  "unofficial  proceedings"  as  published  in  the  newspapers  of 
the  day.

Grand  Akmy  of  the  Kepublic 

Proceedings  of  the  Twenty-sixth  Annual  Encamp- 
ment, Department  of  Ohio,  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic. 
Held  at  Piqua,  O.,  May  10,  11  and  12,  1892.  Cincinnati: 
Elm  Street  Printing  Co.     1892. 

Cloth.     8  vo.  pp.  167  +  Appendix  146,  with  Portrait. 

The  annual  address  of  the  Department  Commander  calls  at- 
tention to  an  important  error  regarding  the  numerical  strength  of 
the  Order  in  Ohio  as  reported  in  the  proceedings  of  1891.  On 
this  subject  he  says:  "By  some  error,  inadvertence  or  remark- 
able misapprehension  of  the  provisions  of  the  rules  and  regula- 
tions, the  membership  on  December  31,  1890,  was  largely  over- 
stated to  the  twenty-fifth  Department  Encampment.  Instead  of 
a  membership  of  49,01 1  at  that  time,  the  actual  number,  as  shown 
by  the  reports  of  adjutants  of  Posts,  now  on  file  at  headquarters, 
was  only  45,743.  The  attention  of  this  administration  was  called 
to  this  subject  by  the  discrepancies  between  the  adjutants'  reports 
of  June  30,  1 89 1,  as  to  the  number  in  good  standing  on  December 
31,  1890,  and  the  reports  of  the  late  Assistant  Adjutant  General. 
I  at  once  directed  my  Assistant  Adjutant  General  to  make 
a  thorough  investigation  of  the  whole  subject,  so  as  to 
determine  exactly,  if  possible,  our  actual  membership  on  Decem- 
ber 31,  1890,  and  so  that  the  reports  of  this  administration  might 
be  correct  and  true,  and  our  good  name  and  standing  at  National 
Headqviarters  be  fully  maintained.     The  result  was  as  stated." 

The  proceedings  report  stenographically  the  routine  business 
of  the  Encampment,  and  the  appendix  contains  the  usual  roster 
and  annual  reports  of  the  officers.  The  reports  indicate  a  mem- 
bership, December  31,  1891,  of  46,119.  The  death  roll  is  re- 
corded at  seven  hundred  and  forty-four.  The  general  orders 
during  the  past  year  are  reported  in  the  appendix. 

At  this  Encampment  Governor  William  McKinley  and  ex- 
President  R.  B.  Hayes  delivered  addresses.

The  decreasing  membership  receives  attention,  and  the 
causes  are  ascribed  to  the  hard  times  and  the  increasing  age  of 
the  veterans,  making  it  impossible  for  many  of  them  to  meet  the 
expenses  of  dues.  For  the  year  ending  December  31,  1894,  the 
deaths  were  six  hundred  and  twenty-four.  The  membership  in 
good  standing  is  reported  as  38,321.  Quite  a  number  of  Posts 
sent  in  no  report  during  the  year.  Nine  Posts  disbanded  and 
seven  organized,  showing  a  net  loss  of  two  during  the  year.

The  address  of  the  Department  Commander  calls  attention 
to  the  decreasing  membership  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Repub- 
lic. "For  years,"  says  he,  "this  grand  and  patriotic  organization 
increased  rapidly  in  numbers,  and  has  made  its  impress  on  the 
present  generation.  But  it  has  passed  the  summit  as  to  numbers, 
and  is  on  the  down  grade."  The  Assistant  Adjutant  General's 
report  shows  that  29,920  members  were  in  good  standing,  a  de- 
crease since  the  report  of  the  year  before  of  6,373  members.

The  question  of  pensions  was  much  discussed  at  this  meet-

are  made  on  pending  pension  legislation  in  Congress.  The  re- 
port of  the  Woman's  Relief  Corps  to  the  Encampment  shows  that 
$10,876.08  was  expended  for  relief,  and  that  there  was  a  balance

r. 

is  about  the  same,  while  the  per  cent,  increases  with  the  reduction 
of  total  membership.  As  to  the  general  condition  of  the  Order, 
the  Department  Commander  says :  "The  total  number  of 
veterans  in  Ohio,  as  shown  by  the  census  reports  of  1890,  was 
101,602.  The  decrease  during  the  ten  years  is,  in  round  num- 
bers, 38,000.  This  leaves  the  Grand  Army  population,  approxi- 
mately, 63,577.  Of  this  number,  26,627  are  in  good  standing, 
and  the  remainder,  through  default,  suspension,  discharge,  op- 
position or  reduced  circumstances,  are  out  of  the  Order,  and  de- 
prived of  its  privileges  and  enjoyments.  A  persistent  effort  has 
been  kept  up  during  the  year  to  enlist  or  reinstate  these  com- 
rades, with  some  measure  of  success." 

The  report  of  the  Woman's  Relief  Corps  shows  that  or- 
ganization to  be  holding  its  membership  and  increasing  its  ac- 
tivities in  relief  work.  It  expended  during  the  year  ending  May 
9,  1901,  $13,775  and  on  that  date  had  $13,841.41  in  its  treas- 
ury. 

The  journal  of  the  proceedings  is  devoted  entirely  to  dis- 
cussions and  actions  on  the  internal  government  of  the  Order.

No.  5,  announces  "With  profound  sorrow  the  death  of  Comrade 
William  McKinley,  the  President  of  the  United  States."  "For 
the  second  time  in  the  history  of  our  Order  a  comrade  has 
reached  the  highest  office  in  the  gift  of  the  Nation,  only  to  be 
stricken  down  at  the  hands  of  an  assassin."  Posts  and  staff  of- 
ficers are  ordered  into  mourning  for  a  period  of  sixty  days. 

The  inevitable  decrease  is  witnessed  by  a  loss  in  Posts  from 
six  hundred  and  eighty  in  1900  to  five  hundred  and  ninety-four 
in  1901.  The  membership  in  good  standing  December  31,  1901,

business  of  the  Encampment.  It  contains  full  lists  of  donations 
made  for  Christmas  fund,  California  sufferers  and  the  Stephen- 
son Monument  fund,  amounting  to  $1,590.41.  A  resolution  pro- 
testing against  the  return  of  Confederate  flags  now  in  the  Capitol 
at  Columbus,  was  laid  upon  the  table. 

The  varied  and  increasing  usefulness  of  the  Woman's  Relief 
Corps  is  evident  in  this  report  to  the  Encampment.  Its  wide 
sphere  of  relief  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  its  expenditures  in- 
clude hospital  supplies,  aid  to  Posts,  assistance  to  boys  in  college, 
donations  to  various  Soldiers'  Homes,  San  Francisco  relief, 
Southern  Memorial  Day  and  Memorial  University,  aggregating 
$15,122.80;  the  cash  balance  is  reported  at  $18,268.62.  The 
number  of  members  is  11,646 — more  than  half  that  of  the  De- 
partment of  Ohio. 

The  office  of  Patriotic  Instructor  having  been  created  by  the 
National  Encampment,  that  officer  made  an  oral  report.  He 
urged  that  the  flag  should  float  over  every  school  house,  and  that 
Memorial  Day  should  be  more  reverently  observed.

The  address  of  the  Department  Commander  calls  attention 
to  the  fact  that  of  over  60,000  men  in  the  State  of  Ohio  who 
served  in  the  Civil  War,  but  one-third  belong  to  the  Grand  Army 
of  the  Republic.  He  refers  to  the  decreasing  numbers  and  the 
proportional  increase  of  the  death  rate. 

The  Assistant  Adjutant  General  reports  22,275  members  in 
good  standing,  five  hundred  and  twenty-two  Posts,  and  a  death 
roll  of  eight  hundred  and  fifty-nine.

The  Woman's  Relief  Corps  expended  $14,797.45  and  re- 
ports $21,031.10  in  the  treasury. 

The  Encampment  authorized  the  Department  Commander  to 
appoint  a  committee  to  take  measures  looking  to  a  permanent 
headquarters  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  and  to  securing  from  the  Leg- 
islature the  necessary  appropriations  to  maintain  such  headquar- 
ters.

This  contains  the  journal  of  proceedings  of  the  Encamp- 
ment, although  not  mentioned  on  the  title. 

Statistics  quoted  from  returns  from  county  auditors  of  the 
State  and  quoted  by  the  Department  Commander  show  that  in 
1909  there  were  37,900  soldiers  in  Ohio  not  affiliated  with  the 
Grand  Army  of  the  Republic.  In  general  order  No.  5  he  appeals 
to  the  Posts  to  endeavor  to  secure  these  men  for  the  Order. 

The  reports  presented  to  the  Encampment  evidence  an  in- 
crease in  membership  for  1908  over  that  of  1907;  the  nvmiber  in 
good  standing  on  December  31,  1908,  being  22,137.     The  number

The  membership  as  reported  by  the  Assistant  Adjutant 
General,  was,  on  December  31,  1909,  22,184.  The  address  of 
the  Department  Commander  covers  every  phase  of  the  history 
and  necessities  of  the  Order.  Referring  to  the  subject  of  mem- 
bership he  says:  "An  examination  of  the  Assistant  Adjutant 
General's  report  will  show  that  we  have  sustained  a  net  loss  in 
membership  this  year  of  179.  This  is  true  in  spite  of  the  fact 
that  a  rather  strenuous  effort  has  been  made  to  induce  the  thous- 
ands of  Union  soldiers  in  the  State,  who  are  not  members  of 
the  Grand  Army,  to  come  and  join  our  ranks.  While  a  few  of 
these  hitherto  non-affiliated  Comrades  have  been  persuaded  to 
join  us,  the  great  overwhelming  majority  of  them  still  stand 
aloof  and  refuse  to  give  their  support  to  the  Grand  Army."  Re- 
ferring to  the  decrease  by  death,  he  says:  "Last  year  we  lost 
by  death  961  members.  This  year  our  loss  was  1,168,  a  net  loss 
by  death  of  over  20  per  cent  greater  than  the  previous  year." 

The  Woman's  Relief  Corps  reported  the  membership  in 
good  standing  March  31,  1910  to  be  12,250.  The  amount  ex- 
pended for  relief  and  other  interests  relating  to  the  Grand  Army 
of  the  Republic  amounted  to  $16,640.00.  The  number  of  sol- 
diers assisted  was  805,  and  the  number  of  soldiers'  families  as- 
sisted was  1,978.  The  cash  on  hand  June  14,  1910  amounted  to 
$17,083.28. 

This  report  also  contains  the  corrected  statistics  of  the  As-

A  legal  examination,  into  the  grounds  of  secession.  It  is 
very  fair,  and  discusses  the  subject  with  a  thorough  knowledge 
of  the  conditions,  political  and  legislative,  prior  to  the  war. 
The  writer  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  Dred  Scott  decision  did 
more  to  direct  Southern  opinion  towards  secession  than  any  one 
cause,  and  was  especially  potent  in  prompting  Senator  Jefferson 
Davis  in  his  course.  His  opinion  of  Davis  is  interesting:  "My 
study  of  his  history  has  caused  me  to  think  him  a  Christian 
gentleman;  a  man  of  honor  and  integrity;  of  very  considerable 
ability  as  a  debater  and  orator;  firm  in  his  adherence  to  what 
he  believed  to  be  right.  But  it  seems  to  me  that  he  was  specially 
lacking  in  practical  common  sense.  He  was  devoted  to  the  in- 
terests of  the  Southland  and  the  Southern  people;  he  would 
willingly  have  died  in  their  cause.  Yet  I  believe  facts  are  such 
that  it  will  appear  to  calm  judgment  that  the  error  into  which 
he  was  led  by  the  Dred  Scott  case  caused  the  Civil  War  and  the 
destruction  of  slavery."

On  Monday,  June  3,  1907,  a  great  memorial  column,  arch 
and  statue  was  unveiled  at  Richmond,  Virginia,  in  honor  of 
Jefferson  Davis,  the  only  president  of  "The  Confederate  States 
of  America".  The  inscription  on  the  monument  and  the  speeches 
made  on  this  occasion  claim  that  God  and  history  will  vindicate 
the  action  of  Mr.  Davis  and  the  seceding  states.  This  pamphlet 
answers  in  a  temperate  and  judicial  manner  these  claims.  It  is 
a  historical  review  of  the  various  grounds  of  secession  as  set 
forth  by  the  South,  and  is  written  in  a  candid  and  attractive 
style.

The  name  of  the  great  General  is  inseparably  connected  with 
Ohio  in  the  Civil  War.  In  these  memoirs  he  gives  his  early  Ohio 
life  on  the  farm  previous  to  entering  West  Point,  and  his  mili- 
tary life  in  the  Mexican  and  Civil  Wars.  The  war  literature 
of  Ohio  is  not  complete  with  General  Grant's  contribution  left 
out.  It  is  written  in  his  own  plain  style,  and  with  the  frankness 
of  a  soldier.  He  was  born  at  Point  Pleasant,  Clermont  County, 
Ohio,  April  27,  1822.  In  the  fall  of  1823  his  father  moved  to 
Georgetown,  the  county  seat  of  Brown,  the  adjoining  county 
east.  This  place  remained  his  home  until  young  Grant  was  sent 
to  West  Point  in  1839,  when  he  was  seventeen  years  of  age. 
Speaking  of  his  old  Ohio  home  in  these  memoirs,  General  Grant 
says: 

"Yet  this  far  off  western  village,  with  a  population,  includ- 
ing old  and  young,  male  and  female,  of  about  one  thousand  — 
about  enough  for  the  organization  of  a  single  regiment  if  all 
had  been  men,  capable  of  bearing  arms  —  furnished  the  Union 
army  four  general  officers  and  one  colonel.  West  Point  gradu- 
ates, and  nine  generals  and  field  officers  of  Volunteers,  that  I 
can  think  of.  Of  the  graduates  from  West  Point,  all  had  citizen- 
ship elsewhere  at  the  breaking  out  of  the  rebellion,  except  pos- 
sibly General  A.  V.  Kautz,  who  had  remained  in  the  army  from 
his  graduation.  Two  of  the  colonels  also  entered  the  service 
from  other  localities.  The  other  seven.  General  McGroarty, 
Colonels  White,  Fyffe,  Loudon  and  Marshall,  Majors  King  and 
Bailey,  were  all  residents  of  Georgetown  when  the  war  broke 
out,  and  all  of  them,  who  were  alive  at  the  close,  returned  there. 
Major  Bailey  was  the  cadet  who  had  preceded  me  at  West  Point. 
He  was  killed  in  West  Virginia,  in  his  first  engagement.  As  far 
as  I  know,  every  boy  who  has  entered  West  Point  from  that  vil- 
lage since  my  time  has  been  graduated". 

These  memoirs  rank  as  one  of  the  historic  titles  of  Civil 
War  literature  and  for  the  thousands  of  Ohio  soldiers  that  were 
with  Grant  from  Donelson  to  Appomattox  it  records  a  part  of 
their  history.

Notwithstanding  that  this  regimental  history  was  written

ness  and  accuracy.  The  writer  draws  freely  from  the  official 
military  reports  of  the  time.  This  regiment  was  the  outgrowth 
of  an  independent  battalion  of  Cincinnati,  known  as  "The  Guthrie 
Greys"  from  which  it  was  organized  in  April,  1861,  and  mustered 
into  the  three  months'  service  on  the  i8th  of  the  same  month 
at  Camp  Harrison,  Ohio,  by  Captain  Gordon  Granger,  U.  S.  A., 
afterwards  Major  General  of  Volunteers.  When  the  call  for 
three  hundred  thousand  men  was  made,  the  Sixth  Regiment  was 
mustered  into  the  three  years'  service.  It  was  immediately  or- 
dered to  West  Virginia  where  it  went  into  active  service.  In 
this  volume  its  movements,  vicissitudes,  campaigns  and  experi- 
ences are  given  with  interesting  detail.  The  writer  controverts 
General  Badeau's  narrative  of  Grant  at  Shiloh,  but  not  in  a  spirit 
derogatory  to  the  great  General.  This  regiment  was  mustered 
out  July  23,  1864,  after  three  years'  faithful  service ;  it  won  its 
honors  at  Laurel  Hill,  W.  Va.,  July  8,  1861 :  Shiloh,  Tenn.,  April

On  the  Resolution  to  Expel  Mr.  Long.  Speech  in  the

Mr.  Harris  was  from  Maryland  and  a  "peace"  man.  He 
•said,  "I  am  for  peace  by  the  recognition  of  the  Southern  Con- 
federacy, and  I  am  for  acquiescence  in  the  doctrine  of  seces- 
sion."    That  he  had  been  alone  in  Congress,  but  now,  having

178  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

listened  to  the  language  of  Mr.  Long,  he  deemed  it  his  duty  to 
indorse  every  sentiment  that  he  uttered.  This  speech  is  fully  as 
radical  as  that  of  Mr.  Long  and  goes  much  further  than  any 
of  the  Ohio  congressman's  defenders.  Mr.  Vallandigham  and 
others  who  opposed  the  resolution  expelling  Mr.  Long  did  so  on 
the  ground  that  he  (Long)  had  the  right  of  freedom  of  speech 
as  a  representative,  but  did  not  indorse  his  views. 

For  this  speech  Mr.  Harris  was,  on  a  vote  of  98  to  20,  de- 
clared by  a  resolution  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  "to  be  an 
unworthy  member  of  this  House,  and  is  hereby  severely  cen- 
sured."

Cloth.     12  mo.  pp.  416. 

One  of  the  most  unique  contributions  to  war  literature  by 
an  Ohio  soldier,  and  extremely  valuable  to  the  historian  of  the 
future.  It  is  composed  wholly  of  extracts  from  newspapers, 
North  and  South,  giving  the  news  and  sentiments  expressed  dur- 
ing the  dying  days  of  the  Rebellion.  The  compiler  in  the  pref- 
ace gives  the  scope  and  purpose  of  this  volume :  "The  collection 
of  material  for  this  work  began  shortly  after  the  close  of  the 
war,  by  seeking  from  both  North  and  South,  files  of  daily  and 
weekly  papers  published  during  the  activity  of  the  two  great 
armies  of  the  Union  and  Confederate  forces.  Many  difficulties 
were  encountered  in  collecting  files  now  in  my  possession,  yet, 
after  the  lapse  of  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century,  the  result  of 
my  collection  is  invaluable  and  cannot  be  duplicated.  Having  a 
desire,  after  having  served  in  the  field  at  a  youthful  age,  to 
know  more  than  I  chanced  to  have  seen,  caused  me  to  seek  this 
channel  for  that  I  deemed  more  accurate  and  interesting  than 
could  come  from  the  pen  of  a  historian,  and  to  you  is  given  the

situation  and  expression  on  both  Union  and  Confederate  sides, 
to  study  over  as  I  have  done  with  great  pleasure.  I  do  not  offer 
an  apology  for  any  article  within  this  cover.  I  have  given  each 
as  it  came  directly  from  the  press  sentiment  on  those  dates.  It 
has  been  found  necessary  at  times  to  have  concentrated  letters 
and  editorials,  but  the  gist  of  each  is  retained  and  here  given. 
"The  contents  are  from  the  war  correspondents  and  editorials 
of  the  following  papers:  The  Tribune,  Herald  and  Times,  of 
New  York;  The  Daily  Rebel,  Confederate  Union  and  Mobile 
Register,  of  Alabama;  The  Raleigh  Progress,  and  Confederate,

This  engagement  is  called  the  battle  of  Opequon  by  Gen- 
eral Sheridan  to  distinguish  it  from  previous  contests  around 
Winchester.  The  writer  who  participated  in  the  conflict  gives 
a  description  of  the  affair.  It  was  one  of  the  most  important  of 
that  period  of  the  war.  Sheridan  as  a  result  of  his  victory, 
won  the  sincere  thanks  and  approval  of  Lincoln  and  Grant,  and 
was  made  Brigadier-General  in  the  regular  army.

At  one  point  in  this  discourse  it  was  intimated  that  perhaps 
Mr.  Lincoln,  in  the  kindness  of  his  heart,  would  have  pursued 
too  lenient  a  policy  in  reconstruction.  The  speaker  predicted 
that  as  time  rolled  on  Lincoln  would  stand  equal  with  Washing-

trymen.

and  Medina.  It  was  organized  in  August  and  September,  1862, 
with  John  S.  Casement  Colonel,  to  serve  for  three  years  and 
was  mustered  out  of  service  June  12,  1865.  It  participated  in

Reunion  of  the  Twenty-Third  Regiment,  Ohio  Vet.  Vol. 
Inf.,  at  Youngstown,  Ohio,  September  17, 1879.    n.  p.  1879. 

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  11. 

The  Twenty-Third  Regiment  was  organized  at  Camp  Chase 
in  1861,  under  Colonel  W.  S.  Rosecrans,  and  was  mustered  into 
the  three  years'  service  June  11,  1861.  General  Hayes  became 
its  Colonel  October  24,  1862.  This  regiment  furnished  two 
Presidents  of  the  United  States  —  Rutherford  B.  Hayes  and 
William  McKinley. 

In  this  address  President  Hayes  discusses  the  fundamental 
issues  settled  by  the  war.  He  dwells  forcefully  on  the  enforce- 
ment of  the  Fifteenth  Amendment,  and  urges  that  there  is  no 
true  settlement  of  the  war  if  it  is  practically  nullified.  He  de- 
nounces the  lawless  and  violent  deprivation  of  the  constitutional 
rights  of  the  colored  people,  and  declares  that  "the  only  solid 
foundations  for  peace  and  progress  in  such  communities  are 
equal  and  exact  justice  to  both  races." 

Rutherford  B.  Hayes,  nineteenth  President  of  the  United 
States,  was  born  at  Delaware,  Ohio,  October  4,  1822.  Educated 
at  Kenyon  College,  Gambier,  Ohio,  and  graduated  in  August, 
1842.  He  studied  law  at  Harvard  Law  School,  and  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  bar  of  Ohio,  May  10,  1845.  He  served  with  dis- 
tinction in  the  Civil  War.  He  won  the  rank  of  brigadier-general 
at  the  battle  of  Cedar  Creek,  October  19,  1864,  and  was  brevetted 
major-general  March  13,  1865.  While  in  the  field  in  1864,  he 
was  elected  to  Congress  from  the  second  (Cincinnati)  Ohio  dis- 
trict, but  did  not  take  his  seat  until  the  war  was  over.  In  1866 
he  was  re-elected.  In  1867  he  was  elected  Governor  of  Ohio, 
and  in  1869  was  re-elected.  He  was  again  nominated  for  Con- 
gress in  1872,  but  was  defeated.  In  1875  he  was  elected  Gover- 
nor for  the  third  time,  and  in  1876  was  elected  President  of  the 
United  States.  There  being  a  dispute  over  the  returns,  the 
count  of  the  contested  electoral  vote  was.  by  an  act  of  Congress, 
referred  to  the  Electoral  Commission,  which  declared  Mr.  Hayes 
to  be  elected  President. 

His  administration  was  noted  for  its  conciliatory  and  patri- 
otic dealing  with  the  South,  and  for  the  maintenance  of  a  sound 
currency  resulting  in  the  resumption  of  specie  payment.  After 
his  retirement  from  the  Presidency  he  devoted  himself  entirely 
to  philanthropic  and  educational  purposes.     At  the  time  of  his 


HAYES    (R.  B.)  183^. 

death  he  was  a  member  of  the  Boards  of  Trustees  of  the  Ohio 
Wesleyan  University  at  Delaware,  the  Ohio  State  University  at 
Columbus,  Kenyon  College  at  Gambier,  Western  Reserve  Uni- 
versity at  Cleveland,  and  Mt.  Union  College  at  Alliance.  He 
was  also  president  of  the  John  F.  Slater  Educational  Fund,  of 
the  National  Prison  Reform  Association,  an  active  member 
of  the  National  Conference  of  Correction  and  Charities,  and 
Commander-in-Chief  of  the  Loyal  Legion  of  the  United  States. 
He  held  the  degree  of  LL.  D.  from  Kenyon,  Harvard,  Yale  and 
Johns  Hopkins  Universities.  General  Hayes  died  at  Spiegel 
Grove,  Fremont,  Ohio,  January  17,  1893.

In  this  address  General  Hayes  dwells  on  the  importance  of

are  not  able  to  sustain  the  burden  of  educating  the  illiterate 
classes  themselves.

A  brief  but  eloquent  eulogy  on  Lincoln.  "The  founders  of

said  he,  "were  among  the  first  among  his  countrymen  to  dedi- 
cate a  monument  to  Abraham  Lincoln."  General  Hayes  calls 
upon  his  Companions  to  support  and  advance  the  work  which

186  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

A  plain  narrative  of  service,  with  roster  of  the  regiment, 
and  a  hiistory  of  each  company,  by  one  of  its  members.  This 
regiment  was  one  of  the  first  raised  in  the  state  on  the  basis  of 
three  years'  service.  It  was  sent  to  the  field  under  Colonel 
Thomas  H.  Ford,  formerly  Lieutenant-Governor  of  Ohio.  Col. 
Ford  was  dismissed  from  the  service  for  the  surrender  of  his 
regiment  at  Harper's  Ferry.  In  this  volume  Col.  Ford  is  justi- 
fied and  defended,  and  the  devotion  of  his  men  to  his  loyalty 
and  valor  is  made  clear  and  unmistakable.  After  exchange  the 
regiment  was  re-organized  and  was  promptly  forwarded  to  the 
front  to  participate  in  the  Vicksburg  campaign. 

The  appendix  contains  a  summary  of  each  of  the  annual 
reunions  of  the  regiment  to  and  including  the  nineteenth,  held 
September  4,  1895.

nati, Ohio :    Press  of  F.  W.  Freeman.     1893. 

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  23. 

A  fine  analysis  of  the  character  of  General  Sherman,  and  a 
review  of  his  military  career.  General  Hickenlooper  in  this  ad- 
dress has  contributed  such  a  portrait  of  Sherman  as  cannot  be 
found  elsewhere  in  military  literature.  It  is  valuable  as  coming 
from  one  who  himself  was  a  successful  soldier  and  well  quali- 
fied in  the  genius  of  war.  He  credits  Sherman  with  resistless 
■courage,  unbroken  steadiness,  limitless  endurance  and  unbounded 
confidence  in  his  command.  With  his  brilliant  personality  the 
great  general  was  firm,  but  not  exacting;  prudent,  but  not 
timid ;  brave  but  not  rash ;  he  never  became  disconcerted  in  the 


HICKENLOOPER    (ANDREW)  189 

presence  of  danger  or  sentimental  in  the  presence  of  death;  but 
when  the  business  was  over  and  he  was  reheved  from  the  stern 
necessity  of  the  hour,  no  one  ever  displayed  more  respect  for 
the  memory  of  the  dead  or  considerate  care  for  the  wounded. 

In  this  address  General  Hickenlooper  dwells  upon  the  ser- 
vice of  Sherman  from  Bull  Run  to  Bentonville  and  accords  to 
him  the  highest  credit  for  military  genius. 

Andrew  Hickenlooper,  artillery  officer  and  engineer,  was 
born  at  Hudson,  Ohio,  August  30,  1837.  In  1859  he  became 
city  surveyor  of  Cincinnati.  He  entered  the  army  August  31, 
1861,  in  the  Fifth  Ohio  Battery  of  Light  Artillery,  and  was  after- 
ward captain.  Served  on  staff  of  Major  General  McPherson, 
as  Chief  Engineer,  and  afterward  Chief  of  Artillery;  subse- 
quently as  Inspector  General  of  the  Seventeenth  Army  Corps, 
on  staff  of  General  F.  P.  Blair.  After  the  fall  of  Vicksburg 
the  "Board  of  Honor"  of  the  Seventeenth  Corps  awarded  him 
a  gold  medal,  with  the  inscription,  "Pittsburg  Landing,  Siege  of 
Corinth,  luka,  Corinth,  Port  Gibson,  Raymond,  Jackson,  Cham- 
pion Hills,  Vicksburg."  He  served  through  the  Atlanta  cam- 
paign and  was  with  Sherman  in  the  march  to  the  sea  and 
through  the  Carolinas.  He  was  appointed  Brigadier  General  of 
Volunteers  and  assigned  to  the  command  of  a  brigade  composed 
of  the  Eleventh,  Thirteenth,  Fifteenth  and  Sixteenth  Iowa  Vet- 
eran Volunteers.  After  the  war  he  was  United  States  Marshal 
for  the  Southern  District  of  Ohio,  city  civil  engineer  of  Cincin- 
nati and  lieutenant-governor  of  Ohio.     He  died  May  4,   1904.

The  writer  was  in  command  of  the  Fifth  Ohio  Independent 
Light  Artillery  as  captain  at  the  battle  of  Shiloh.  It  was  or- 
ganized and  originally  designated  as  "Hickenlooper's  Cincinnati 
Battery."     In  Part  I,  he  has  recorded  the  personal  experience 


190  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATUKE  OF  OHIO 

of  a  young  volunteer  in  his  maiden  battle,  and  in  Part  II,  from 
his  own  observations,  and  the  subsequently  compiled  reports  of 
others,  condensed  an  accurate  description  of  its  principal  feat- 
ures; more  especially  those  pertaining  to  the  Sixth  Division, 
commanded  by  General  B.  M.  Prentiss,  to  which  the  Fifth  Ohio 
Battery  had  been  attached.  He  criticises  the  unpreparedness  for 
battle  as  shown  by  the  absence  of  proper  defenses  and  a  failure 
to  provide  the  same.  After  a  careful  review  of  many  reports 
of  the  battle,  he  concludes  that  "the  sad  casualties  of  Sunday, 
the  6th,  were  due  in  part  to  failure  to  anticipate  such  an  attack ; 
the  encampment  of  troops  without  regard  to  consideration  of 
mutual  support;  the  neglect  to  provide  and  fortify  a  defensive 
line;  or  the  issuance  and  enforcement  of  orders  for  the  main- 
tenance of  grand  guards,  pickets  and  outposts  at  a  sufficient 
distance  to  give  timely  warning  of  an  enemy's  approach."  Gen- 
eral Hickenlooper  earnestly  defends  General  Prentiss  from  as- 
persions cast  upon  him  by  reason  of  the  capture  of  his  division. 
To  General  Prentiss,  he  claims,  "more  than  any  other  one  man, 
is  the  country  indebted  for  the  final  triumph  of  our  arms  at 
Shiloh  on  the  6th  of  April."  He  quotes  from  numerous  reports 
and  military  writings  relating  to  the  battle  to  sustain  his  con- 
clusions.

Pamphlet.    J2  mo.  pp.  29. 

During  the  last  years  of  the  war  there  was  among  the  pris- 
oners at  Johnson's  Island,  Sandusky  Bay,  an  association  known 
as  "The  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  of  Johnson's  Is- 
land, Ohio".  It  was  composed  of  Christians  from  all  parts  of 
the  South.  When  the  war  had  ended  and  the  Southern  armies 
surrendered,  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  association  prior  to  be- 
ing discharged.  May  19,  1865,  this  poem  was  read  as  a  farewell 
to  the  writer's  fellow  prisoners.  It  breathes  a  deep  religious 
sentiment,  is  free  from  all  color  of  rancor  or  bitterness  and  at 
times  is  very  touching.

The  writer  holds  the  Springfield  rifled  musket,  or  rifle,  in  grate-

Union  victories  were  won  and  the  Nation  preserved.

fantry, with  193  original  illustrations  drawn  by  George 
Y.  Coffin,  Cleveland,  Ohio :    N.  G.  Hamilton  &  Co.    1889. 

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  XIX  and  706. 

This  volume  is  neither  a  history  nor  a  story,  yet  it  embodies 
in  a  homely  but  interesting  and  thrilling  narrative  "Si  Klegg" 
and  "Shorty"  his  "Pard"  characters,  which  the  author  says,  have 
their  prototypes  in  every  regiment.  The  author  served  four 
years  at  the  front  in  a  regiment  (Sixty-Fifth  Ohio  Volunteer  In- 
fantry) which,  as  he  in  his  preface  says  "with  eleven  hundred 
men  on  its  rolls  from  first  to  last,  was  reduced  by  the  casualties 
of  battles  and  the  ravages  of  disease  to  one  hundred  and  thirty, 
officers  and  men,  present  for  duty  at  the  time  it  was  mustered  out. 
It  had  traveled  fifteen  thousand  miles  —  more  than  six  thousand 
on  foot.  During  the  first  year  of  his  service  the  writer  carried  a 
musket  and  knapsack.  These  facts  are  mentioned  only  to  show 
that  he  had  abundant  experiences,  without  which  it  would  have 
been  folly  to  attempt  such  a  book  as  this". 

The  writer  has  framed  his  narrative  in  the  "free  and  easy" 
form  of  language  that  marked  the  intercourse  of  the  soldiers. 
He  has  flavored  it  with  humor,  wit  and  fun,  although  there  is 
much  more  that  is  earnest,  pathetic  and  sad.  He  has  shown  how 
the  soldier  lived  —  and  died.

the  military  careers  of  the  organizations,  composing  the  "Sher-

Mr.  Sherman  was  commissioned  Colonel  of  the  Sixty-Fourth. 
At  this  time  he  was  United  States  Senator  from  Ohio  and  on 
the  Finance  Committee  of  the  Senate ;  his  service  in  raising 
troops  had  so  impressed  the  Secretary  of  War  that  he  tendered 
him  a  commission  as  brigadier  general.  But  President  Lincoln 
promptly  checked  all  attempts  to  direct  Senator  Sherman  into 
the  military  service  of  the  country.  Said  Mr.  Lincoln:  "I  can 
make  a  brigadier  with  a  stroke  of  a  pen,  but  I  can't  make  a 
statesman  and  a  financier!  Mr.  Sherman  must  remain  in  the 
Senate".  So  on  the  ist  of  December,  1861.  Mr.  Sherman  bade 
adieu  to  his  brigade.

This  fair  of  gigantic  proportions  was  held  in  the  fall  of 
1863  at  Cincinnati  for  tlie  benefit  of  the  sick  and  wounded  Union 
soldiers.  Its  net  proceeds  were  $234,588.98,  which  was  turned 
over  to  the  Cincinnati  branch  of  the  United  States  Sanitary  Com-

civilians  at  home  helped  the  soldiers  in  the  field.  It  also  con- 
tains a  full  account  of  the  operations  of  the  Cincinnati  Branch 
of  the  United  .States  Sa.nitary  Commission.  General  W.  S.  Rose-

Taking  for  his  text  Job  1:21,  this  pastor  eloquently  de- 
scribed the  joy  of  the  people  over  the  War's  close,  and  the 
sudden  transition  to  deep  horror  at  the  President's  assassination. 
Regarding  Lincoln's  elevation  to  the  Presidency  as  God-given,  he 
finds  it  more  difficult  to  apply  the  latter  part  of  the  text  to  the 
awful  event  that  bereft  the  Nation  of  his  services.  He  advised 
his  hearers  to  ado])t  Lincoln's  Gettysburg  sentiments  as  theirs, 
and  to  go  forward  with  the  unfinished  work  that  he  had  so 
nobly  carried  on.

The  writer  was  the  captain  of  Company  C.  Tenth  Kentucky 
Regiment  in  the  Second  Brigade  of  General  John  Morgan's 
Cavalry.  He  was  in  all  the  engagements  and  service  of  that

and  the  capture,  imprisonment  and  escape  of  Morgan  and  his 
men  from  the  Ohio  Penitentiary.  The  writer  with  Captain

effected  the  escape,  a  detailed  account  of  which  he  gives  in  this 
pamphlet.  He  emphatically  denies  that  the  escape  was  con- 
ducted by  Captain  Thomas  H.  Hines,  as  claimed  by  General 
Basil  Duke  in  his  "History  of  Morgan's  Cavalrv."  See  "Duke,

HOSEA  (lewis  m.)  199 

This  is  among  the  first  issued  regimental  histories,  being 
published  in  August,  1866.  It  is  a  well-written  volume  consid- 
ering that  according  to  the  writers'  statements  they  had  not  full 
recourse  to  official  records.  As  a  narrative  of  the  services  of 
the  regiment,  it  is  valuable ;  and  its  individual  military  biogra- 
phies of  field  and  staff,  and  enlisted  men  by  companies,  gives  it 
historical  importance.  Its  "Incident  Department"  is  composed 
of  tales,  adventures  and  experiences  of  individuals  of  the  organ- 
ization from  officers  to  privates. 

According  to  the  authors  the  companies  composing  the  or- 
iginal Eleventh  were  among  the  very  first  organized  in  the  State, 
but  by  reason  of  the  greater  influence  exerted  in  favor  of  others, 
their  claims  to  early  recognition  were  not  considered  and  prepara- 
tion for  their  active  participation  in  the  war  proceeded  but  slowly. 
It  was  mustered  into  the  three  months'  service  in  April  1861, 
reorganized  and  mustered  into  the  three  months'  service  June  20, 
1861,  and  on  the  7th  of  July  was  ordered  to  the  Kanawha  Valley. 

The  Eleventh  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  was  honorably  en- 
gaged in  the  following  battles:  Hawk's  Nest,  W.  Va.,  August 
20,  1861 ;  Gauley  Bridge,  W.  Va.,  November  10,  1861 ;  Prince-

The  crisis  of  1861  brought  forth  innumerable  pamphlets  and 
publications  suggesting  remedies  for  the  impending  situation. 
This  is  one  of  them.  The  writer  suggests  that  the  constitution 
be  so  amended  as  to  permit,  sanction  and  defend  slavery  in  every 
state  and  territory.  He  takes  the  position  that  slavery  is  neces- 
sary to  the  prosperity  of  the  nation.

Denies  the  right  of  secession  but  is  in  favor  of  concession 
to  the  South  in  order  to  save  the  Union.  The  speech  is  patriotic 
and  conservative  and  ilhistrates  the  views  prevaiHng  in  Congress 
among  many  Democrats  and  RepubHcans.  Mr.  Howard  was  a 
native  of  Virginia,  and  on  his  removal  to  Ohio  acquired  prom- 
inence in  State  politics.  He  served  in  the  48th  and  49th  Gen-

1888. 

Cloth.     12  mo.  pp.  388,  with   Portrait. 

The  writer  was  chaplain  of  the  Eighty-Fourth  Regiment  of 
Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  during  its  service  of  over  three  months 
in  1862,  at  Cumberland,  Maryland,  and  New  Creek,  West  Vir- 
ginia. When  it  was  mustered  out  of  service  at  Delaware,  Ohio, 
in  September  of  that  year,  he  became  the  confidential  agent  of 
Governor  Tod  to  visit  and  report  on  the  condition  of  the  Ohio 
regiments,  and  the  chaplain  service  for  each  whenever  they 
might  be  found.  When  Governor  Tod's  term  expired  and  John 
Brough  became  Governor,  Mr.  Howbert  was  continued  in  the 
same  character  of  service  until  the  close  of  the  war.  Thus  his 
opportunities  to  observe  the  operations  and  incidents  of  his  time 
were  wide  and  unrestricted.  In  this  volume  he  has  not  only 
recorded  his  own  experiences,  but  he  has  written  a  chronicle  of 
the  War  which  embraces  its  entire  period  from  beginning  to  end. 

The  introduction  (pp.  1-62)  is  by  Judge  William  Lawrence 
of  Bellefontaine,  Ohio,  who  was  the  colonel  of  the  regiment ;  it 
is  a  very  able  review  of  the  origin  and  growth  of  the  doctrine  of 
secession  and  a  history  of  the  political  events  which  led  up  to 
the  war.

The  life  of  Lincoln  pp.  304  herein,  was  written  by  William 
D.  Howells  although  his  name  is  not  on  the  title  page.  This  is  , 
one  of  Mr.  Howells'  earliest  pieces  of  literary  work.  He  was 
the  news  editor  of  the  Ohio  State  Journal  at  Columbus,  Ohio, 
at  the  time.  He  received  for  this  sketch  of  Lincoln  $160.00,  and 
with  this  money  he  visited  Montreal  and  Boston  where  he 
formed  the  acquaintance  of  James  Russell  Lowell,  the  editor  of 
the  "Atlantic  Monthly,"  who  introduced  him  to  Oliver  Wendell 
Holmes.  Thus  this  early  contribution  of  Ohio  literature  of  the 
war  period,  opened  a  new  future  to  its  author.  President  Lin- 
coln appointed  him  consul  to  Venice ;  he  resided  there  through 
the  War.  W.  D.  Howells  was  born  in  Martin's  Ferry,  Ohio, 
March  i,  1837.  When  a  young  man  at  Columbus,  he  was  cor- 
respondent of  the  "Cincinnati  Gazette",  contributed  to  the  "At-

Mr.  Hubbell  argued  that  an  amendment  to  the  Constitution 
should  be  adopted  changing  the  basis  of  apportionment  from 
population  to  voters.  That  before  recognizing  the  new  govern-

the  Freedmen  had  complete  protection  in  all  their  rights  of  per- 
son and  property.

"In  September,  1861,  a  group  of  young  men  at  Chillicothe, 
Ohio,  discussed  the  possibility  of  raising  a  new  regiment  of  vol- 
unteers under  the  first  call  of  the  President  for  three  hundred 
thousand  men.  After  due  consideration,  they  determined  to 
make  the  attempt,  and  invited  Captain  Orland   Smith,  of   the 


204  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  0¥  OHIO 

Chillicothe  Greys,  to  accept  the  Colonelcy,  and  Jacob  Hyer,  Esq., 
of  Greenfield,  the  Lieutenant  Colonelcy  of  the  regiment".  Thus 
does  the  author,  who  afterwards  became  its  colonel,  describe  the 
origin  of  the  Seventy-Third  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry.  This 
meeting  resulted  in  the  organization  being  mustered  in  December 
30,  1861,  to  serve  three  years.  The  author  was  promoted  to 
Colonel  July  13,  1864,  and  brevetted  colonel  March  13,  1865. 
He  was  brevetted  Brigadier-General  July  20,  1865.  This  his- 
tory is  largely  his  own  observations  and  experiences  but  it  is 
also  a  faithful  record  of  his  regiment.  He  accurately  gives  its 
service  from  its  organization  in  1861  to  the  Grand  Review  at 
Washington  in  1865.  The  military  history  of  each  officer  and 
enlisted  man  is  given,  and  his  summary  shows  that  of  the  regi- 
ment there  were  killed  in  battle,  95 ;  died  of  wounds,  61 ;  died  of 
disease,  129;  total  died,  285;  and  568  wounded  but  not  fatally. 
The  regiment  was  mustered  out  July  20,  1865,  after  an  honor- 
able record  in  the  following  battles :  McDowell,  Va.,  May  8, 
1862;  Cross  Keys,  Va.,  June  8,  1862;  Cedar  Mountain,  Va., 
August  9,  1862;  Freeman's  Ford,  Va.,  August  23-25,  1862;  Sec-

about.  He  multiplies  evidence  to  show  that  conditions  of  trade 
and  commerce  improved  greatly  after  the  freedom  of  the  blacks, 
and  that  although  there  was  temporary  confusion  and  inconveni- 
ence, the  final  and  settled  result  was  that  the  abolition  of  slavery 
was  a  social  and  business  success.

Cluth.     S  vo.  pp.  3S9. 

Except  for  a  few  days  when  he  escaped  temporarily,  Mr. 
Hyde  was  a  prisoner  of  war  for  one  year,  five  months  and  seven 
days.  He  was  captured  at  the  Chickamauga  battlefield  Septem- 
ber 20,  1863.  His  prison  experiences  included  incarcerations  in 
Libby  and  Pemberton  prisons  and  then  a  transfer  to  Danville. 
He  escaped  from  the  latter  only  to  be  recaptured  and  returned, 
going  thence  to  Andersonville.  The  drain  upon  the  mental  and 
physical  systems  which  this  writer  endured  in  common  with  his 
fellow  soldiers  in  these  bastiles  is  almost  beyond  comprehension. 
The  book  abounds  with  thrilling  descriptions  of  the  sights  wit-

Johnson  (Wm.) 

Usurpation  of  the  Rights  of  the  States  by  the  Federal 
Governmeut.  Speech  of  Hon.  Wm.  Johnson,  of  Ohio,  on 
the  bill  of  Hon.  G.  W.  Julian,  to  provide  Homesteads  on 
the  Forfeited  and  Confiscated  Lands  of  Rebels,  delivered 
in  the  House  of  Representatives,  May  4,  1864.  Washing-

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  />/>.  8. 

The  speech  itself  has  no  reference  to  the  confiscation  bill 
of  Mr.  Julian  but  is  an  able  defense  of  states  rights  and  a  severe 
criticism  of  the  Administration.  It  is  typical  of  the  attitude  as- 
sumed by  the  opponents  of  the  war  and  President  Lincoln.  Mr. 
Johnson  was  a  member  of  the  Thirty-Eighth  Congress,  serving  a 
single  term;  was  born  in  Ireland  in  1819  and  died  at  Mansfield, 
Ohio,  May  3,  1866.

liam Johnston,  of  the  Cincinnati  Bar.  Cincinnati :  Pub- 
lished by  Rickey  and  Carroll.    1861. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  42. 

The  author  was  one  of  the  leading  members  of  the  Cincin- 
nati bar.  In  this  paper  he  discusses  the  right  of  secession  at  a 
time  when  the  air  was  resounding  with  threats  of  dissolution  of 
the  Union.  It  is  a  calm  and  deliberate  consideration  principally 
from  a  historical  standpoint,  of  the  legal  and  moral  right  of  any 
state  to  withdraw  from  the  Union.  He  reviews  the  history  of 
the  acquisition  of  Florida,  Texas  and  the  Louisiana  territory, 
and  denies  that  the  inhabitants  of  that  area  have  any  title  to  set 
up  a  separate  government.  The  address  is  one  of  the  most  in- 
teresting and  able  of  the  many  contributions  to  the  war  litera- 
ture of  that  period.  The  Cincinnati  Literary  Club  before  which 
this  address  was  read  is  one  of  the  oldest  institutions  of  that 
city.  Among  its  distinguished  members  were :  Salmon  P.

Judge  Johnston  was  an  intimate  friend  and  associate  of  Ed-

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  52. 

Rev.  George  Gordon  was  President  of  Iberia  College,  Iberia, 
Ohio,  and  on  the  6th  of  November,  1861,  he  was  indicted  in  the 
District  Court  of  the  United  Slates  of  the  Northern  District  of 
Ohio  for  the  violation  of  the  Fugitive  Slave  Law.  He  resisted 
process  in  the  hands  of  the  deputy  marshal  in  his  attempt  to 
arrest  a  fugitive  slave.  He  was  sentenced  by  the  court  to  six 
months  imprisonment  and  to  pay  a  fine  of  three  hundred  dollars, 
with  costs  of  prosecution.  The  case  attracted  great  attention 
throughout  the  North.  It  was  regarded  as  anomaly  that  during 
a  rebellion  of  slaveholders  that  the  Lincoln  administration  should 
enforce  the  Fugitive  Slave  Act.  There  was  a  universal  demand 
for  Dr.  Gordon's  pardon.  President  Lincoln  pardoned  him,  but 
in  the  pardon  he  specially  stated  that  the  conviction  and  sentence 
was  legal,  but  exercised  his  leniency  on  the  ground  of  mercy. 

This  elaborate  brief  against  the  morality  and  constitution- 
ality of  the  Fugitive  Slave  Law  was  submitted  to  President  Lin- 
coln and  was  also  widely  circulated.  The  President  however 
recognized  the  force  and  validity  of  the  law,  notwithstanding  the 
appeals  and  demands  of  a  large  element  in  the  North.

Giddings  was  one  of  tlie  most  powerful  and  aggressive  of 
the  anti-slavery  leaders  of  Ohio.  In  this  volume  by  his  son-in- 
law,  himself  a  man  of  like  type,  the  life  work  of  the  aboli- 
tionist eongressman  from  the  Ashtabula  district  is  presented  with 
fidelity  and  ability.  It  is  important  to  the  student  of  the  period 
iinmediately  preceding  the  war  in  obtaining  a  complete  and  vivid 
picture  of  the  intense  bitterness  in  the  political  relations  between 
the  friends  of  freedom  and  slavery.  It  shows  by  the  part  Gid- 
dings  played  that  it  was  conducted  without  fear  or  compromise. 
In  1838  he  was  elected  to  Congress  as  a  \Miig,  and  immediately 
became  prominent  as  an  advocate  of  the  abolition  of  slavery  and 
of  the  domestic  slave-trade.  To  this  mission  he  consecrated  his 
life.  His  congressional  career  was  a  long,  violent  and  courage- 
ous conflict  against  slavery.  He  was  one  of  the  organizers  of 
the  Republican  party.

The  author  contends  that  the  individual  instruction  of  the 
soldier  is  the  foundation  upon  which  the  structure  of  the  army 
rests.  The  purpose  of  this  manual  is  to  give  the  necessary  in- 
struction which  officers  should  have  in  order  to  become  compe- 
tent and  conscientious  commanders,  and  to  give  the  private  sol- 
dier an  intelligent  conception  of  his  duties. 

This  volume  was  deemed  a  useful  and  authoritative  pub- 
lication during  the  war,  and  was  widely  circulated.  Although 
prepared  for  the  soldiers  of  the  regular  army,  it  was  equally 
applicable  to  the  volunteer  service  except  in  some  few  cases  that 
are  fully  explained.

Contains  what  the  writer,  "Obed  Kedar"  (pseudonym),  says 
was  a  vision  of  the  war  then  in  progress.  The  "angel"  which 
appeared  to  him  "in  IVfissouri"  showed  liim  awful  visions  of  car- 
nage ;  two  governments  out  of  what  had  been  the  United  States, 
the  overthrowing  of  both  by  a  monarchy ;  the  overcoming  of  the 
monarchy  by  the  re-establishment  of  a  single  republican  form 
of  government;  the  freeing  of  the  slaves;  their  uprising  as  a  race 
and  terrible  devastation  of  the  country,  north  and  south,  and 
then  the  coming  of  a  permanent  monarcli  to  rule  over  all  the 
land.  The  author,  whose  sympathies,  it  could  plainly  be  seen, 
were  pro-slavery,  wrote  in  scriptural  style. 

"A  Vision"  was  originally  published  as  a  serial  contribu- 
tion in  the  Crisis,  Columbus.  Ohio,  edited  by  Samuel  Medary.

whom  Mr.  Medary  described  as  of  Quaker  lineage  and  about 
sixty  years  old.  The  publisher's  preface  also  said  that  "thou- 
sands of  our  coimtrymen  had  read  the  first  vision,  and  since 
liad  watched  with  interest  and  wonder  the  fulfillment  of  its  pre- 
dictions." The  new  vision  seemed  to  concern  the  status  of  the 
Negro  more  than  anything  else,  though  some  of  the  other  pre- 
dictions were  repeated.  The  "angel"  stated  that  it  was  by  divine 
sanction  that  slavery  was  estal)lished  in  America :  that  it  had 
stopped  cannibalism  in  Africa,  because  it  was  more  profitable  for 
the  heathen  to  sell  than  to  devour  their  enemies ;  it  brought  them 
to  America  "where  they  were  taught  there  is  a  God  to  be  wor- 
shipped," and  instructed  them  in  the  arts  of  civilization ;  eventu- 
ally they  would  be  returned  to  Africa  to  bring  their  own  people 
out  of  Egyptian  darkness,  but  the  time  was  not  yet;  the  Amer- 
ican people  (especially  those  of  the  North)  must  cease  their  war- 
fare and  let  things  become  as  they  were,  or  the  direst  of  dire 
calamities  would  befall  them.

The  statue  unveiled  on  this  occasion  is  mainly  a  tribute  from 
General  Garfield's  immediate  companions  of  the  Army  of  the 
Cumberland,  with  which  he  served  and  in  which  he  bore  so 
conspicuous  a  part.

an  eloquent  and  scholarly  analysis  of  Garfield's  life  and  char-

This  battle  was  fought  in  Virginia,  April  6,  1865,  three  days 
before  the  surrender  of  the  Army  of  Northern  Virginia  under 
General  Robert  E.  Lee.  General  Keifer  observes  that  its  influ- 
ence was  overshadowed  by  the  event  of  the  final  surrender, 
but  maintains  that  it  was  of  great  importance.  In  this  address 
he  narrates  its  details  and  significance. 

Considerably  elaborated,  this  paper  is  published  in  "Sketches

tribution to  our  literature  that  has  been  written  by  any  writer

The  introduction  is  written  by  General  H.  V.  Boynton,  who 
was  commissioned  as  Major  of  this  regiment  and  afterwards 
promoted  to  Lieutenant-Cok^nel.  He  commanded  the  regiment 
at  Chickamauga,  Mission  Ridge  and  P>uzzard's  Roost.  At  the 
storming  of   Mission   Ridge  he  was  severely  wounded.     Speak-

ing  of  the  Thirty-Fifth  Ohio  VoUiiitecr  Infantry,  he  says:  "The 
material  of  the  regiment  as  a  whole  was  from  the  worthiest  fam- 
ihes  of  the  Miami  Valley.  There  was  not  enough  of  the  rougher 
element  from  city,  town,  or  country,  to  inake  its  impress.  The 
officers  were  citizens  of  standing  and  the  men  were,  in  large  part, 
the  pride  of  the  communities  from  which  they  hailed".  The 
regiment  was  organized  under  the  first  call  for  volunteers  to 
serve  three  years  or  during  the  war.  It  entered  the  field  within 
a  month  from  the  date  of  muster  of  its  first  companies.  This 
history  is  a  very  thorough  and  systematic  record  of  the  cam- 
paigns and  service  of  the  regiment.  Conciseness  and  brevity 
have  been  kept  in  view,  and  the  result,  the  historian  has  left  a 
creditable  monument  to  his  organization.  Chickamauga  was  its 
first  great  battle;  it  won  honors  at  Mission  Ridge  and  maintained 
its  standard  throughout  the  Atlanta  campaign. 

The  engagements  and  battles  in  which  the  Thirty-Fifth  Ohio 
Volunteer  Infantry  participated  are  as  follows:  Siege  of 
Corinth,  Miss.,  April  30,  1862;  Perryvillc,  Ky.,  October  8,  1862; 
Tullahoma  Campaign,  Tenn.,  June  23-30.  1863;  Chickamauga, 
Ga.,  September  19-20,  1863 ;  Alission  Ridge,  Tenn.,  November 
25,  1863 ;  Buzzard  Roost,  Ga.,  February  25-27,  1864 ;  Atlanta 
Campaign,  Ga..  May  5  to  September  8.  1864;  Dalton,  Ga.,  May 
9,  1864;  Resaca,  Ga.,  May  13-16,  1864;  Kenesaw  Mountain,  Ga.. 
June  9-30,  1864;  Pine  Mountain,  Ga.,  June  14,  1864;  Pine  Knob, 
Ga.,  June  19,  1864;  Assault  on  Kenesaw  Mountain,  Ga.,  June 
27,   1864,  and  Peach  Tree  Creek,  Ga.,  July  20,  1864. 

The  Thirty-Fifth  was  mustered  out  in  August,  1864,  at 
Chattanooga.  In  their  term  of  three  years  their  historian  re- 
cords that  the  regiment  never  turned  its  back  upon  the  enemy, 
and  was  never  driven  from  a  field.

the  Ohio  Legislature  and  in  1857  was  the  unsuccessful  candidate 
of  the  Democratic  party  for  lieutenant-governor.  When  the 
Civil  War  broke  out  he  was  commissioned  Colonel  of  the  Tenth 
Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry.  At  Carnifex  Ferry,  September  10, 
1 86 1,  he  commanded  a  brigade  and  was  severely  wounded.  At 
the  battle  of  Perryville,  October  8,  1862,  he  was  again  wounded 
and  taken  prisoner.  He  was  exchanged  and  made  a  brigadier- 
general,  and  was  in  constant  and  active  service  until  the  fatal 
field  of  Chickamauga  when  he  fell  leading  his  brigade. 

General  Lytle  was  a  poet  of  considerable  merit.  His  most 
famous  poem,  written  in  1857.  is  the  well  known  "Antony  and 
Cleopatra",  commencing,  "I  am  dying,  Egypt,  dying".  This

An  eloquent  and  patriotic  address  delivered  to  his  old  com-

and  research  he  presented  this  volume.  In  twenty-six  chapters 
he  has  carried  four  years  of  eventful  and  honorable  service  in  a 
style  and  manner  to  make  it  extremely  interesting,  not  only  to 
his  comrades,  but  to  the  general  reader  as  well. 

The  Fourth  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  was  made  up  of  com- 
panies raised  in  the  Northern  Central  part  of  Ohio  in  the  counties 
of  Wayne,  Stark,  Knox,  Delaware,  Marion  and  Hardin,  and 
mostly  from  the  towns  of  Wooster,  Canton,  Mt.  Vernon,  Dela- 
ware, Marion  and  Kenton.  It  was  organized  at  Camp  Jackson, 
Columbus,  April  25,  1861,  within  one  week  after  President  Lin- 
coln had  issued  his  proclamation  calling  for  seventy-five  thousand 
men  to  serve  three  months  and  was  composed  principally  of 
young  men  from  prominent  families  and  comfortable  homes  of 
farmers,  merchants,  mechanics  and  the  various  professions. 
Lorin  Andrews,  President  of  Kenyon  College,  who  had  volun- 
teered as  a  private  became  the  Colonel  of  the  regiment.  All 
through  the  war  this  regiment  was  in  hard  fighting  and  did  gal- 
lant service  at  every  place  of  duty.  It  marched  one  thousand 
nine  hundred  and  seventy-five  miies,  and  traveled  by  railroad 
and  transport  two  thousand  two  hundred  and  seventy-nine  miles, 
in  all  four  thousand  two  hundred  and  fifty  miles. 

In  addition  to  the  historical  narrative  of  the  regiment's  ser- 
vice, this  volume  contains  memoirs  of  its  distinguished  dead 
and  a  chronological  record  showing  the  action  and  location  each 
day  from  April  26,  1861  to  June  14,  1865  when  it  was  mustered 
out.    A  full  and  accurate  roster  completes  the  volume. 

The  Fourth  Ohio  was  gallantly  engaged  in  the  following  bat-

The  writers  were  captains  in  this  regiment,  and  were  brev- 
etted  Brigadier-Generals  at  the  close  of  the  war.  The  Colonel  of 
the  regiment  at  its  organization  was  Captain  William  B.  Hazen 
of  the  Eighth  United  States  Infantry;  he  afterwards  became 
Major  General.  Aquila  Wiley,  Captain  of  Co.  C,  became  Colonel 
November  29,  1862;  he  was  wounded  and  lost  a  leg  at  Mission 
Ridge  and  was  brevetted  Brigadier-General  from  March  13, 
1865,  "for  gallant  and  meritorious  services  at  the  battles  of 
Mission  Ridge,  Stone  River,  Chickamauga,  and  Chattanooga, 
and  faithful  services  during  the  war". 

The  material  of  this  regiment  came  from  the  Western  Re- 
serve and  the  counties  adjoining;  it  was  organized  from  August 
26  to  October  29,  1862,  to  serve  for  three  years.  Within  a 
short  time  it  was  sent  to  Virginia  and  from  thence  to  Louisville. 
It  commenced  its  honorable  career  at  Shiloh,  and  from  that  time 
its  record  is  one  of  gallant  and  persistent  service.  The  narrative 
of  this  history  is  the  work  of  General  Kimberly  while  the  statis- 
tical matter  was  written  and  prepared  by  General  Holloway.  The 
result  is  an  intelligent  and  accurate  narrative,  which  gives  the 
details  of  the  regiment's  honorable  part  in  the  following  battles: 
Shiloh,  Tenn.,  April  6-7,  1862;  Stone  River,  Tenn.,  December 
31,  1862  to  January  2,  1863;  Woodbury,  Tenn.,  January  24,  1863;

The  complete  roster  of  the  regiment  with  the  military  biogra-

ming up,  this  history  shows  that  the  Forty-First  Ohio  \^olunteer 
Infantry  traveled  during  its  service  14,500  miles:  5,200  by  water, 
3,800  by  rail  and  5,500  on  foot.  It  was  engaged  in  twenty  battles, 
besides  a  great  many  skirmishes.  It  lost  109  killed  in  battle;  69 
died  of  wounds ;  141  died  of  disease  and  3  killed  by  accidents,  a 
total  of  322  deaths.    There  were  616  known  to  be  wounded.

When  Cincinnati  was  menaced  by  a  large  army  of  Con- 
federates under  General  Kirby  Smith  in  September,  1862,  Gov- 
ernor Tod  issued  a  call  for  the  "minute  men"  of  Ohio  to  rally 
for  its  defense.  They  came  with  a  rush,  bearing,  generally,  their 
hunting  weapons,  some  fifty  thousand  from  all  over  the  State. 
This  prompt  action  diverted  the  threatened  raid.  These  men 
came  to  be  known  as  the  "Squirrel  Hunters  of  Ohio,"  and  were 
so  named  in  their  discharges,  copies  of  which,  with  the  figure 
of  the  typical  hunter  of  the  pioneer  days  and  a  portrait  of  Gov- 
ernor Tod.  hang  in  thousands  of  homes  throughout  Ohio. 

In  this  address  is  given  a  history  of  this  organization  and 
interesting  personal  recollections  of  the  writer.  He  covers  the 
experiences  of  the  organization,  and  of  their  camp  at  North 
Bend  where  they  were  stationed  to  await  the  call  to  conflict, 
which  never  came.

The  writer  was  a  Confederate  prisoner  in  Camp  Chase  at

such  extreme  bitterness  as  to  destroy  its  value  as  history.  Beyond 
the  lack  of  many  comfortable  conveniences,  the  charge  from  his

This  is  an  intelligently  written  regimental  history  and  covers 
the  movements  and  operations  of  the  army  it  was  associated  with 
in  an  attractive  style.  After  giving  the  organization  of  the  regi- 
ment and  its  march  to  the  front,  it  treats  of  its  part  in  the  Chat- 
tanooga Campaign,  the  battles  of  Lookout  Mountain,  Missionary 
Ridge  and  Chickamauga.  The  writer  possesses  descriptive  pow- 
ers not  usually  displayed  in  histories  of  this  kind. 

This  regiment  was  organized  at  Camp  Cleveland,  Ohio,  from 
August  to  September,  1862,  to  serve  three  years.  It  was  mus- 
tered out  of  service  July  9,  1865.  It  served  in  the  following 
battles:  Thompson's  Station,  Tenn.,  March  4-5,  1863;  Chicka- 
mauga, Ga.,  September  19-20,  1863;  Lookout  Mountain,  Tenn.,

President  Lincoln's  Views.  An  important  letter  on 
the  principles  involved  in  the  Vallandigham  case.  Corre- 
spondence in  relation  to  the  Democratic  meeting  at  Al- 
bany, N.  Y.     Philadelphia:     King  and  Baird,  Printers, 

1863. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  16. 

This  correspondence  grew  out  of  the  arrest  and  banishment 
of  Clement  L.  Vallandigham,  for  particulars  of  which  see  "Val- 
landigham, C.  L." 

On  the  i6th  of  May.  1863,  a  Democratic  meeting  at  Albany, 
N.  Y.,  passed  a  series  of  resolutions,  which  were  forwarded  to 
President  Lincoln  protesting  against  the  arrest,  trial  and  sentence 
of  Vallandigham.  These  resolutions  together  with  the  letter 
accompanying  the  same  are  published  in  this  pamphlet,  likewise. 
President  Lincoln's  reply  dated  "Executive  Mansion,  Washing- 
ton, June  12,  1863". 

Mr.  Lincoln  takes  up  specifically  the  resolutions  of  the  meet- 
ing and  his  answer  made  a  deep  impression  on  the  country.  It 
is  one  of  the  very  best  of  his  argumentative  writings.  Among  his 
answers  is  the  following:  "It  is  asserted,  in  substance,  that  Mr. 
Vallandigham  was,  by  a  military  commander,  seized  and  tried 
'for  no  other  reason  than  words  addressed  to  a  public  meeting, 
in  criticism  of  the  course  of  the  Administration,  and  in  condemna- 
tion of  the  military  orders  of  the  General'.  Now,  if  there  be  no 
mistake  about  this;  if  this  is  the  truth  and  the  whole  truth;  if 
there  was  no  other  reason  for  the  arrest,  then  I  concede  that 
the  arrest  was  wrong.  But  the  arrest,  as  I  understand,  was  made 
for  a  very  different  reason.  Mr.  Vallandigham  avows  his  hos- 
tility to  war  on  the  part  of  the  Union ;  and  his  arrest  was  made 
because  he  was  laboring,  with  some  effect,  to  prevent  the  raising 
of  troops ;  to  encourage  desertions  from  the  army ;  and  to  leave 
the  rebellion  without  an  adequate  force  to  suppress  it.  He  was 
not  arrested  because  he  was  damaging  the  political  prospects  of 
the  Administration,  or  the  personal  interests  of  the  commanding 
general,  but  because  he  was  damaging  the  army,  upon  the  exist- 
ence and  vigor  of  which  the  life  of  the  nation  depends.  He  was 
warring  upon  the  military  and  this  gave  the  military  constitu- 
tional jurisdiction  to  lay  hands  upon  him.  If  Mr.  Vallandigham 
was  not  damaging  the  military  power  of  the  country,  then  his 
arrest  was  made  on  mistake  of  fact,  which  I  would  be  glad  to 
correct  on  reasonably  satisfactory  evidence.  I  understand  the 
meeting,  whose  resolutions  I  consider  to  be  in  favor  of  suppress- 
ing the  rebellion  by  military  force  —  by  armies.     Long  experi- 


238  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

ence  has  shown  that  armies  cannot  be  maintained  vmless  desertioft 
shall  be  punished  by  the  severe  penalty  of  death.  The  case  re- 
quires, and  the  law  and  the  constitution  sanction,  this  punishment. 
Must  I  shoot  a  simple-minded  soldier-boy  who  deserts,  while  I 
must  not  touch  a  hair  of  a  wily  agitator  who  induces  him  to  de- 
sert? This  is  none  the  less  injurious  when  affected  by  getting  a 
father,  or  a  brother,  or  friend,  into  a  public  meeting  and  there 
working  upon  his  feelings  till  he  is  persuaded  to  write  the  soldier- 
boy  he  is  fighting  in  a  bad  cause,  for  a  wicked  Administration 
of  a  contemptible  Government,  too  weak  to  arrest  and  punish 
him  if  he  shall  desert.  I  think  that  in  such  a  case  to  silence  the 
agitator  and  save  the  boy  is  not  only  constitutional,  but  withal 
a  great  mercy."

ter, see  "Vallandigham,  Clement  L."

Lincoln  (Abraham) 

Address  by  Abraham  Lincoln  of  Illinois  in  Cincin- 
nati, Ohio,  September  17,  1859.  Cincinnati,  Ohio:  Chas. 
F.  Lotz  Printing  &  Stationery  Co.    1910. 

Pamphlet,     iz  mo.  pl>.  60,  with   2  Photographs  of  Lincoln. 

This  speech  was  delivered  in  the  campaign  in  which  William 
Dennison  was  a  candidate  for  Governor.  It  was  one  of  Mr. 
Lincoln's  most  important  utterances  before  his  election  to  the 
Presidency  in  the  following  year.  He  devotes  his  discussion  to 
answering  Stephen  A.  Douglas'  speeches  on  popular  sovereignty 
and  the  extension  of  slavery,  and  addresses  himself  largely  to 
Kentuckians  —  citizens  of  his  native  state.  He  appeals  to  all 
the  opponents  of  slavery  extension  to  unite  upon  some  good 
man  as  a  presidential  candidate  for  i860,  and  he  declares  that 
he  has  no  choice,  but  will  support  even  a  candidate  from  the 
South  if  he  will  stand  for  this  principle.  This  was  one  of  two 
speeches  in  this  campaign  —  the  other  was  delivered  at  Colum- 
bus a  few  days  before. 

Mr.  Lincoln  made  his  address  from  the  second  story  bal- 
cony of  a  building  which  was  then  located  on  the  north  side  of 
Fifth  Street,  where  the  Government  Building  now  stands.  This 
booklet  contains  the  history  and  organization  of  Mr.  Lincoln's 
meeting,  and  a  fac-simile  of  his  letter  accepting  the  invitation 
to  speak  in  Cincinnati.  It  states  that  "he  was  greeted  by  a  large 
assemblage  of  more  than  four  thousand  strong."  Benjamin 
Eggleston  was  the  President  of  the  meeting,  and  among  the  Vice 
Presidents  is  the  name  of  Rutherford  B.  Hayes.    The  portraits

of  Mr.  Lincoln  reproduced  herein  "are  so  far  as  known,  the 
only  original  ante-presidential  negatives  in  existence." 

This  little  work  is  an  interesting  reminder  of  one  of  the 
important  episodes  of  Cincinnati  bearing  upon  the  Civil  War.

fice at  Andersonville.  By  Dorence  Atwater.  New 
York:  Published  by  Tribune  Association,  154  Nas- 
sau Street.     1890. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  72. 

The  compiler  was  a  prisoner  in  Andersonville,  and  while 
there  was  paroled  and  detailed  as  a  clerk  in  Surgeon  J.  H. 
White's  office  to  keep  a  daily  record  of  deaths  of  all  Federal 
prisoners  of  war.  In  August,  1864,  he  began  to  secretly  copy 
the  entire  list  of  the  dead,  which  was  brought  safely  through  the 
lines  in  March,  1865.  This  is  that  list.  Pages  46-51,  in  double 
columns,  contain  the  names  of  all  the  Ohio  soldiers  who  died  in 
prison,  together  with  the  date  of  death,  regiment  and  company, 
the  disease  died  of  and  the  prison  number.  An  introduction 
giving  the  history  of  the  record  is  written  by  Dorence  Atwater,  the 
compiler.  The  publication  also  contains  a  report  written  by 
Clara  Barton  "of  an  expedition  to  Andersonville,  Georgia,  July, 
1865,  for  the  purpose  of  identifying  the  graves  and  inclosing  the 
grounds  of  the  cemetery  created  there  during  the  occupancy  of 
that  place  as  a  prison  for  Union  soldiers  in  rebel  hands."  Miss 
Barton  speaks  of  the  "forethought,  courage  and  perseverance  of 
Dorence  Atwater,  a  young  man,  not  yet  twenty  years  of  age,"  for 
the  securing  and  preservation  of  this  record.

This  volume  contains  all  the  Nasby  letters  published  in  the 
three  preceding  titles,  and  additional  letters  to  May  12,  1870. 
Mr.  Sumner  in  his  introduction  to  this  volume  writes :  "Be- 
yond the  interest  in  these  letters  as  another  instance  of  a  pecu- 
liar literature  —  illustrated  by  Major  Jack  Downing,  Sam  Slick, 
and  the  genius  of  Hosea  Biglow,  —  they  have  an  historic  char- 
acter from  the  part  they  performed  in  the  war  with  slavery  and 
in  advancing  reconstruction.  Appearing  with  a  certain  regular- 
ity and  enjoying  an  extensive  circulation,  they  became  a  con- 
stant and  welcome  ally.  Unquestionably  they  were  among  the 
influences  and  agencies  by  which  disloyalty  in  all  its  forms  was 
exposed,  and  public  opinion  assured  on  the  right  side.  It  is  im- 
possible to  measure  this  volume,  .'^gainst  the  devices  of  slavery 
and  its  supporters,  each  letter  was  like  a  speech,  or  one  of  those 
songs  which  stir  the  people.  Therefore,  they  belong  to  the  po- 
litical history  of  this  critical  period.  Of  publications  during  the 
war,  none  had  such  charm  for  Abraham  Lincoln.  He  read  every 
letter  as  it  appeared,  and  kept  them  all  within  reach  for  refresh- 
ment. This  strong  liking  illustrates  bis  character,  and  will 
always  awaken  an  interest  in  the  letters".

The  Present  Condition  and  Future  Prospects  of  the 
Country.  Speech  of  Hon.  Alexander  Long,  of  Ohio,  de- 
livered in  the  House  of  Representatives,  April  8,  1864. 
Washington :    n.  p.    1864. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  20. 

In  this  speech  Mr.  Long  boldly  advocated  the  recognition  of 
the  Southern  Confederacy,  and  denounced  the  continuation  of 
the  war.  For  these  expressions  the  Speaker  of  the  House  (Mr. 
Schuyler  Colfax)  offered  a  resolution  for  his  expulsion;  it  failed 
to  pass,  but  the  House  substituted  a  resolution  of  censure.  Mr. 
Long's  speech  was  not  indorsed  by  the  Democratic  members 
of  Congress.  Mr.  Harris  of  Maryland,  however,  defended  its 
position,  for  which  he  was  also  censured;  see  "Harris,  Benj. 
Gwinn."  The  speech  was  bitterly  denounced  by  the  Republican 
members ;  see  "Schenck,  Robert  C." ;  "Davis,  H.  Winter."  The 
right  to  express  himself  as  Mr.  Long  did  in  this  speech,  was  de- 
fended by  his  party  colleagues,  without  indorsing  his  sentiments ; 
see  "Wood,  Fernando." 

This  pamphlet  also  contains  Mr.  Long's  defense  in  the  de- 
bate on  the  resolution  of  censure.

Representatives,  February  Tth,  1865.  Washington:  n.  p. 
1865. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  l6. 

A  very  aggressive  speech  against  the  Lincoln  Administra- 
tion condemning  "the  present  deplorable  condition  of  the  coun- 
try and  the  madness  and  fanaticism  that  rules  the  hour".  Mr. 
Long  herein  claims  that  the  war  is  a  failure,  and  urges  peace 
and  separation  of  the  States.  The  speech  is  one  of  the  most 
radical  and  bitter  anti-war  and  secession  expressions  of  the 
period. 

Alexander  Long  was  elected  to  the  Thirty-Eighth  Congress 
from  Cincinnati  in  1862.  Early  in  the  second  session  of  that 
Congress  he  delivered  a  speech  in  which  he  criticised  President 
Lincoln  and  the  war  in  the  most  treasonable  manner.  A  reso- 
lution to  expel  him  failed  of  the  constitutional  majority  by 
eleven.     He  was  however  publicly  censured  by  the  House.     Gen-

eral  Schenck  in  a  severe  speech  denounced  him  with  great  per- 
sonal bitterness.  See  "Schenck,  Robert  C."  Hon.  Fernando 
Wood  of  New  York,  defended  Mr.  Long  in  a  speech  of  great 
force ;  see  "Wood,  Fernando".  Next  to  Vallandigham  Mr.  Long 
was  the  most  active  in  opposing  war  measures.  He  failed  to 
be  re-elected,  being  succeeded  by  General  Rutherford  B.  Hayes, 
afterwards  President  of  the  United  States.

The  author  of  this  memoir  was  the  boyhood  friend  of  John

diary  and  life  show  him  to  have  been  a  Christian  and  brave

as  a  spy.     See  "Beall,  John  Y."

Cloth.  8  vo.  pp.  54,  with  3  Full  Page  Portraits  and  8  Full  Page

An  interesting  and  romantic  personal  reminiscence  centering 
around  the  presentation,  the  capture  and  the  return  of  a  pair 
of  revolvers  that  came  back  to  the  writer  after  a  quarter  of  a 
century  of  separation,  and  after  they  had  been  carried  and  used 
under  two  flags.  The  story  also  permits  a  description  of  two 
great  battles  in  which  the  writer  participated  —  that  of  Mur- 
freesboro,  or  Stone  River,  and  of  Mission  Ridge  —  the  first 
named  one  of  the  hardest  fought  battles  of  the  War,  and  the 
last  the  most  spectacular. 

General  Manderson  entered  the  Union  Army  from  Canton, 
Ohio,  enlisting  as  a  private  in  1861,  and  filled  all  grades  including 
brigadier  general.  He  resigned  because  of  wounds  received  at 
Lovejoy's  Station,  Georgia,  in  1865.  Resumed  his  profession  at 
Canton,  and  was  elected  prosecuting  attorney  of  Stark  county, 
Ohio.  Removed  to  Omaha,  Nebraska,  in  1869;  served  as  United 
States  senator  from  that  state  from  1883  to  1895.  He  was  presi- 
dent pro  tern,  of  the  United  States  Senate  in  the  Fifty-First  and

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  i6. 

An  essay  urging  support  of  the  Union  cause  and  the  re- 
election of  Air.  Lincoln.  The  writer  discusses  the  cause  and 
eiifect  of  the  doctrine  of  secession,  and  the  disastrous  influence 
on  repuWicanism  abroad  if  the  South  should  win.  This  pamph- 
let was  extensively  circulated  by  the  National  Union  Associa- 
tion of  Ohio  in  the  presidential  canvass  of  1864. 

Edward  D.  Mansfield  contributed  much  to  the  literature  of 
Ohio,  and  wrote  many  treatises  on  mathematics,  politics,  educa- 
tion and  the  early  history  of  the  State.  He  was  born  at  New 
Haven,  Connecticut,  August  17,  1801,  and  died  at  Morrow,  Ohio, 
October  27,  1880.  For  twenty-five  years  he  was  a  regular  con- 
tributor of  the  Cincinnati  "Gazette".  He  served  as  Commis- 
sioner of  Statistics  of  Ohio,  from  1859  to  1868.  During  the  war 
his  pen  was  used  vigorously  in  defense  of  the  Union.

Prepared  at  the  instance  of  a  number  of  the  alumni  of 
Marietta  College.  President  I.  W.  Andrews,  of  the  College, 
reviews  the  part  his  institution  took  in  the  war  of  the  Rebellion ; 
this  is  followed  by  sketches  of  the  lives  and  services  of  sons  of 
Marietta  who  fell  in  the  National  struggle,  and  the  work  con- 
cludes with  the  military  record  of  the  alumni,  under  graduates, 
and  preparatory  students  who  enlisted  in  the  war.  It  is  an 
honorable  memento  to  the  patriotic  teachings  and  instincts  of 
one  of  the  oldest  of  Ohio's  colleges.

The  author  also  wrote  the  title  following  this ;  having  served 
as  Adjutant  in  the  Forty-Second  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  prior  to 
enlistment  in  the  Twelfth  Ohio  Cavalry.  Indeed  nearly  all  of  the 
officers  of  this  regiment  were  veterans  who  had  seen  service  in 
the  first  years  of  the  war.  This  history  is  one  of  the  exception- 
ally well  written  regimental  war  records.  The  author  has  the 
art  of  historical  perspective  and  he  has  left  a  useful  and  val- 
uable memorial  of  his  regimental  service. 

This  regiment  was  organized  at  Camp  Cleveland,  Ohio,  from 
the  State  at  large  from  August  17,  1863,  to  November  14,  1863, 
to  serve  for  a  term  of  three  years.  It  participated  in  the  fol- 
lowing engagements:  Mt.  Sterling,  Ky.,  June  9,  1864;  Cynth-

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  22. 

A  philosophic  discussion  of  the  causes  and  results  of  the  war. 
He  maintains  that  the  future  prosperity  and  existence  of  our 
country  depends  on  our  being  just  in  our  relations  with  man 
and  law ;  justice  must  obtain  in  "private  and  public,  equal  and 
exact  without  respect  to  persons,  to  white  and  black,  to  learned 
and  ignorant,  to  strong  and  weak,  for  justice  and  judgment  are 
eternal  habitations". 

Stanley  Matthews  was  born  in  Cincinnati  July  21,  1824. 
Admitted  to  the  bar  in  1842.  Served  in  the  army  of  the  Fifty- 
First  O.  V.  I.  as  Colonel  until  1863  when  he  resigned  to  be  judge

Enumerating  a  number  of  reasons  why  the  Federal  soldiers 
responded  to  the  President's  call,  including  love  of  country,  for 
the  defense  of  the  flag,  and  a  desire  to  see  the  land  entirely  free, 
the  speaker  eloquently  condensed  them  all  into  one  —  a  desire  to 
save  the  South  as  well  as  the  North.

Of  these  two  discourses  the  latter  is  much  the  longer,  and  is 
almost  entirely  devoted  to  the  personality  of  Mr.  Lincoln.  The 
former,  while  a  sermon,  contains  many  references  to  the  war 
and  to  the  causes  which  led  up  to  Mr.  Lincoln's  assassination.

Thoroughly  representative  of  the  anti-administration  views 
of  that  time.  The  speech  is  a  dignified  and  historical  address  on 
the  necessity  of  maintaining  a  free  press,  and  attacks  the  Lincoln 
administration  and  the  Union  party  for  its  attempts  to  control 
and  suppress  the  utterances  of  newspapers  as  tyrannical.  The 
Ohio  Legislature  during  the  war  was  the  scene  of  many  bitter 
and  prolonged  debates.  The  speeches  were  generally  printed  in 
pamphlet  form  and  circulated  extensively.  They  are  now  very

The  history  is  a  gossipy  narrative,  the  data  of  which  are 
taken  from  the  author's  record  of  every-day  affairs  taken  on  the 
.spot.  It  was  written  and  published  by  authority  of  the  regiment, 
declared  at  its  eighth  annual  reunion,  held  at  Columbus,  Ohio, 
August  II,  1881. 

The  organization  of  this  regiment  was  commenced  at  Camp 
Chase  in  August,  1862;  it  was  ordered  to  Camp  Zanesville  and 
then  to  Camp  Dennison,  where  the  organization  was  completed. 
Its  baptism  of  fire  was  on  the  bloody  field  of  Chickamauga.  Its

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  30,  with  3  Full  Page  Portraits. 

Notwithstanding  that  the  author  of  this  pamphlet  says  in  his 
preface  that  it  is  not  intended  as  a  contribution  to  either  liter- 
ature or  history,  it  is  emphatically  a  valuable  contribution  to  both. 
It  is  the  first  and  only  complete  record  we  have  of  that  little 
known,  but  important  organization  "Lincoln's  Body  Guard".  Its 
history  briefly  stated  is  as  follows:  The  Union  Light  Guard, 
otherwise  known  as  the  Seventh  Independent  Company  of  Ohio 
Volunteer  Cavalry,  was  organized  by  Governor  David  Tod  during 
the  months  of  November  and  December,  1863,  for  a  special  ser- 
vice, the  nature  of  which  was  not  disclosed  to  the  members  of 
the  company  until  some  time  after  it  was  mustered  into  the 
service.  The  original  intention  was  to  select  one  man  from  each 
county  in  the  State  to  be  designated  by  county  military  commit- 
tees. After  muster  at  Columbus,  they  left  for  Washington,  D. 
C.  When  they  arrived  there,  they  learned  for  the  first  time  that 
they  were  to  be  a  body-guard  for  President  Lincoln.  The  story 
of  their  service  is  graphically  told  in  the  few  pages  of  this  pam- 
phlet. A  full  roster  and  the  residence  of  the  men  where  they 
enlisted  is  given,  as  well  as  the  present  (1909)  residence  of  the 
forty  survivors.  In  1908  these  survivors  affected  a  permanent 
organization  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  with  Lieutenant  G.  C.  Ashmun 
as  President,  and  Robert  W.  McBride,  the  writer  of  these  pages, 
as  Secretary.

therein  the  proclamation  of  Governor  Brough  is  published  in  this

General  McClellan's  report  on  the  campaign  in  Western  Vir- 
ginia included  in  this  volume  is  an  important  contribution  to 
the  history  of  Ohio  troops  in  the  war.  Herein  is  given  the  opera- 
tions of  these  troops  that  early  in  the  war  period  were  sent  into 
Western  Virginia  to  engage  in  the  first  movements  against  the 
Southern  Confederacy.  The  Ohio  regiments  named  in  this  re- 
port and  participating  in  the  campaign  in  Western  Virginia  are 
as  follows :  Third,  Fourth,  Fifth,  Sixth,  Seventh,  Eighth,  Ninth, 
Tenth,  Thirteenth,  Fourteenth,  Fifteenth,  Sixteenth,  Seventeenth, 
Eighteenth,  Nineteentli,  Twentieth,  and  Twenty-Second  Infantry ; 
Barnett's  Ohio  Battery  and  Burdsall's  Ohio  Dragoons. 

George  B.  McClellan  was  born  in  Philadelphia,  December 
3,  1826.  Graduated  at  West  Point  in  1846.  Served  in  the 
Mexican  War  at  Vera  Cruz,  Cerro  Gordo,  City  of  Mexico,  Con- 
treras  and  Churubusco.  After  the  war  he  was  ordered  to  West 
Point  as  instructor.     He  resigned  from  the  army  in  1857  and 


254  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

became  vice  president  and  engineer  of  the  Illinois  Central  Rail- 
road, and  afterwards  general  superintendent  of  the  Ohio  and 
Mississippi  Railroad.  When  the  Civil  War  broke  out  he  was 
commissioned  major  general  of  the  Ohio  troops  by  Governor 
Dennison.  The  states  of  Ohio,  Illinois,  Indiana  and  the  western 
part  of  Pennsylvania  were  invited  to  form  the  Army  Department 
of  the  Ohio,  and  were  placed  under  his  command.  In  June  1861, 
his  army  crossed  into  Western  Virginia,  and  by  the  middle  of 
July  that  part  of  the  State  was  cleared  of  Confederate  troops. 
After  this  campaign  he  was  summoned  to  Washington  to  take 
charge  of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  and  commissioned  as  major 
general  of  the  United  States  Army.  When  General  Scott  retired 
General  McClellan  was  made  General-in-chief.  In  1864  he  was 
the  Democratic  candidate  for  the  Presidency  against  Mr.  Lin- 
coln. In  1877  he  was  elected  Governor  of  New  Jersey.  General 
McClellan  died  October  29,  1885  at  Orange,  New  Jersey.  His 
fame  as  a  general  rests  on  his  great  powers  as  an  organizer  and 
disciplinarian.

A  patriotic  address  praising  not  only  the  soldiers,  but  also 
highly  commending  the  services  of  the  loyal  men  and  women 
who  remained  at  home  and  supported  those  in  arms.  In  the 
opinion  of  this  speaker  the  proudest  bulwarks  of  the  American 
Republic,  as  taught  by  the  lessons  of  1861,  are  the  patriotism  of 
its  people  and  the  valor  of  its  soldiers.

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  i6. 

James  E.  Murdoch  was  a  noted  elocutionist  and  dramatic 
reader  and  did  much  during  the  war  with  his  talents  to  inspire 
the  North  with  patriotic  enthusiasm.  He  first  gave  to  the  public 
T.  Buchanan  Read's  "Sheridan's  Ride",  and  on  the  platform  did 
much  to  arouse  the  loyal  sentiment  of  the  North.  Dr.  McCook, 
one  of  the  "Fighting  McCooks"  embodied  in  a  poem  an  incident 
of  Murdoch  at  Chattanooga  which  was  read  as  the  above  title

In  the  correspondence  with  his  hearers  relative  to  publish-

tempore and  the  other  given  from  a  few  notes.  He  expressed 
himself  as  thankful  for  the  opportunities  for  bearing  testimonies 
of  unconditional  loyalty,  and  as  against  every  shade  of  com- 
plicity with  crimes.     The  discourses  bear  him  out  in  this.

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  32. 

The  preliminary  note  of  the  author  explains  his  purpose.  He 
says:  "I  have  often  been  requested  by  members  of  the  86th  Ohio 
Regiment  and  by  others  to  write  an  account  of  the  military  opera- 
tions in  1863,  against  the  stronghold  of  Cumberland  Gap.  At 
length  a  brief  statement  has  been  prepared.  The  true  history  of 
the  inside  history,  so  to  say,  —  has  not  heretofore  seen  the  light. 
I  kept  a  diary  throughout  the  campaign,  the  events  of  each  day 
having  been  set  down  before  I  slept.  This  diary,  my  personal 
recollections,  as  a  participant,  and  the  statements  by  the  two 
gentlemen  named  in  the  text,  constitute  the  basis  of  this  sketch".

was  the  editor  of  the  "Rail  Splitter",  a  campaign  newspaper  in 
the  Lincoln-Douglas  canvass  of  i860.  This  pamphlet  is  a  plea 
for  fidelity  to  the  Union  and  bitterly  opposes  secession,  at  that 
time  progressing  rapidly,  seven  states  having  taken  action  to 
withdraw  from  the  Union.

This  regiment  was  mustered  into  the  service  as  the  One 
Hundred  and  Seventeenth  Regiment,  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry, 
in  September,  1862,  at  Camp  Portsmouth,  Ohio.  In  October 
following  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  Kentucky,  where  for  the 
succeeding  seven  months  it  was  engaged  in  guard  duty  and  ex- 
peditions against  guerrillas.  In  May,  1863.  orders  were  issued 
by  the  War  Department  changing  the  organization  into  the  First 
Regiment  Heavy  Artillery,  Ohio  Volunteers,  and  on  August  12, 
1863,  it  was  so  reorganized  with  twelve  full  companies,  aggre- 
gating 1839  officers  and  men.     Under  General  Davis  Tillson  the

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  32. 

This  is  a  reply  to  certain  criticisms  of  General  Pope.  The 
writer  maintains  that  the  official  records  show  that  the  objects 
of  the  Virginia  Campaign  were  to  protect  Washington  and  to 
bring  in  safely  the  Army  of  the  Potomac.  This  he  claims  was 
successfully  done.  General  Pope  was  a  member  of  the  Cincinnati 
Literary  Club,  and  the  writer  refers  to  this  fact  in  his  conclusion : 
"It  has  been  a  pleasure  to  me  to  thus  prove  to  the  Club  by  un- 
disputable  facts  that  the  record  of  our  fellow-member  who  gave 
us  our  first  drill  when  at  its  first  meeting  after  the  fall  of  Fort 
Sumter  the  Club  resolved  itself  into  a  military  company,  a  rec- 
ord so  widely  known  by  his  brilliant  capture  of  New  Madrid  and 
Island  No.  10,  has  in  no  respect  suffered  by  this  much  abused,

"It  is  the  summer  of  1861.  The  government  is  in  peril,  and 
those  whom  it  has  trained  to  military  service  are  springing  for- 
ward to  its  defense.     The  time  has  come  for  Mitchel  to  render

back  to  Caesar  the  things  which  he  received  from  Caesar.  With 
the  training  given  him  thirty  years  before  by  the  people  of  the 
United  States,  he  had  gone  forth  to  achieve  success.  It  had  se- 
cured enviable  rank  among  scientists  and  engineers ;  it  had  given 
him  fortune.  What  honorable  man  could  sit  quietly  at  home 
when  the  source  from  which  these  blessings  had  been  derived 
was  suddenly  menaced  by  a  great  danger?"  How  well  he  did 
his  duty  and  gave  his  life  for  his  country  these  pages  tell.  On 
the  8th  of  August,  1861,  he  was  appointed  Brigadier-General 
with  headquarters  at  Cincinnati  and  on  the  nth  of  April,  1862, 
was  promoted  Major  General.  He  commanded  the  Department 
of  the  South,  but  in  the  midst  of  his  plans  for  the  future,  he 
was  stricken  with  yellow  fever  and  died  at  Hilton  Head,  South 
Carolina,  October  30,  1862.

Union  forces,  under  General  W.  H.  Milroy,  in  West  Virginia 
in  the  spring  of  1862.  These  operations  culminated  in  the  severe 
battle  of  McDowell,  May  8,  1862.  Under  General  Milroy  in 
this  engagement  were  the  following  Ohio  regiments:  Twenty- 
Fifth,  Thirty-Second,  Seventy-Fifth  and  Eighty-Second.  The 
writer  has  preserved  a  valuable  and  accurate  description  of  these 
important  movements,  drawing  upon  his  personal  observations 
and  the  official  records.  The  Tygart  Valley  was  the  scene  of  so 
many  skirmishes  and  engagements  that  it  became  a  continuous

reminds  one  of  Foe's  imaginative  creations.  A  treasure  of  past

The  argument  of  this  address  was  that  the  slavery  question 
was  an  inheritance  from  the  Colonial  Congress  which  framed 
the  Declaration  of  Independence,  and  was  the  problem  of  our 
Government  from  its  very  beginning.  That  such  men  as  Wm. 
Lloyd  Garrison,  Wendell  Phillips  and  John  Brown,  while  they 
may  have  given  the  car  of  freedom  an  impetus  forward,  were 
not  the  cause  of  the  Rebellion.  That  the  Constitution  guaran- 
teed slavery,  and  the  only  ground  upon  which  President  Lincoln 
could  proclaim  emancipation  to  the  slaves  was  that  of  military 
necessity,  and  on  that  ground  he  acted.

Memorial  of  Major  General  William  Stark  Rosecrans. 
Born  in  Kingston  Township,  Delaware  County,  Ohio, 
September  6,  1819.  Died  at  Rosecrans,  near  Los  Angeles, 
California,  March  11,  1898.     Mt.  Vernon,  Ohio:    1898. 

Pamphlet.    16  mo.  pp.  75,  with  Portraits  —  /  Full  Page  Portrait  of 
General  Rosecrans. 

According  to  the  author  this  little  sketch  of  the  life  of  Ma- 
jor General  Rosecrans  is  compiled  chiefly  from  current  accounts 
of  his  life  and  from  an  acquaintance  first  formed  in  the  house  of 
his  brother,  Bishop  Rosecrans,  of  Columbus,  Ohio.  It  contains 
much  information  concerning  the  General  not  to  be  found  else- 
where; the  reminiscences  of  his  private  life  are  charming,  as 
well  as  the  style  in  which  they  are  written.         , 

General  Rosecrans  graduated  from  West  Point  in  1842  and 
entered  the  corps  of  engineers  as  brevet  second  lieutenant.  He 
resigned  in  1854  and  established  himself  at  Cincinnati,  engaging 
in  private  business.  At  the  beginning  of  the  Civil  War  he 
promptly  offered  his  services  to  his  country.  Was  made  colonel 
of  the  Twenty-Third  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry,  and  on  May 
16,  1861,  was  appointed  Brigadier  General.  His  first  important 
action    was   that   of    Rich    Mountain,   Virginia,    which    he    won.

by  Captain  Henry  M.  Neil,  Eleventh  Ohio  Battery.  Cin-

Pamphlet.     8  vo.   pp.   15. 

The  Eleventh  Independent  Battery  Ohio  Volunteer  Artil- 
lery was  mustered  into  service  October  27,  1861,  at  St.  Louis 
Arsenal  to  serve  three  years,  and  was  mustered  out  November 
3,  1864,  on  expiration  of  term  of  service,  at  Columbus,  Ohio. 
It  honorably  participated  in  the  following  engagements:  New 
Madrid,  Mo.,  March  13,  1862;  Advance  on  Corinth,  Miss.,  April 
30  to  May  30,  1862;  luka,  Miss.,  September  19-20,  1862;  Cor- 
inth, Miss.,  October  2-3,  1862 ;  Siege  of  Vicksburg,  Miss.,  May 
j8  to  July  4,  1863,  and  Mark's  Mills,  Ark.,  April  25,  1864. 

Captain  Neil  (who  afterwards  served  in  the  Twenty-Second 
Ohio  Battery)  has  contributed  in  his  historical  sketch  a  vivid 
description  of  the  daring  work  of  the  Eleventh  Ohio  in  the  bat- 
tles of  luka  and  Corinth.  The  battery  entered  the  fight  at 
luka  with  ninety-seven  men  and  five  officers,  of  these  eighteen 
were  killed  and  thirty-nine  wounded,  many  mortally.  Of  the 
cannoneers  alone,  forty-six  out  of  fifty-four  were  killed  or 
wounded.  Fox's  "Regimental  Losses  in  the  American  Civil 
War,"  states  that  the  losses  of  the  Eleventh  at  luka  were  twenty- 
two  per  cent,  greater  than  that  sustained  by  any  other  light 
battery  in  any  one  engagement  during  the  war.  At  Corinth  this 
battery  displayed  a  like  heroism,  which  is  vividly  recorded  by  the 
writer.  Supplementary  to  Captain  Neil's  paper  there  is  also  pub- 
lished in  this  pamphlet,  by  order  of  The  Ohio  Commandery,  a 
corroborating  sketch  of  the  Eleventh  Ohio  Battery's  work  at 
luka  and  Corinth  by  John  B.  Sanborn,  Commanding  First  Brig- 
ade, Seventh  Division,  Army  of  the  Tennessee.

Mr.  Noble  in  this  speech  charges  that  the  cause  of  the  war 
was  illegitimate  and  heated  agitation  of  the  slavery  question, 
between  the  abolitionists  of  the  North  and  the  "fire-eaters"  of  the 
South.  He  favors  the  Union  and  the  suppression  of  the  Rebel- 
lion and  reviews  the  political  history  of  the  country  in  relation 
to  slavery.  He  was  a  prominent  and  distinguished  Democrat  and 
served  in  the  Ohio  Legislature  and  in  the  Thirty-Seventh  and 
Thirty-Eighth  Congresses,  declining  a  re-election.

OHIO   BOYS   IN  DIXIE  273

Ohio  Boys  in  Dixie.  The  Adventures  of  Twenty-Two 
Scouts  sent  by  Gen.  O.  M.  Mitchel  to  destroy  a  rail- 
road; with  a  narrative  of  their  barbarous  treatpient 
by  the  rebels,  and  Judge  Holt's  report.  New  York: 
Miller  and  Matthews.    1863. 

Pamphlet    8  vo.  pp.  47. 

This  is  the  first  pubHshed  account  of  the  most  daring  and 
thrilling  incident  of  the  war.  It  also  contains  the  official  report 
of  the  Judge  Advocate  General  to  the  Secretary  of  War,  giving 
the  detailed  testimony  of  certain  members  of  the  expedition. 

The  whole  event  reads  like  a  romance.  In  April,  1862, 
under  the  authority  and  by  the  direction  of  General  Ormsby  M. 
Mitchel,  a  plan  was  organized  having  for  its  purpose  the  destruc- 
tion of  railroad  communication  between  Atlanta  and  Chattanooga 
on  the  Georgia  State  Railroad.  This  was  to  be  accomplished  by 
burning  the  railroad  bridges  and  otherwise  destroying  the  method 
of  transportation.  The  dangerous  enterprise  was  suggested  by 
J.  J.  Andrews,  a  citizen  of  Kentucky  and  one  of  the  secret  service 
men  of  the  Union  army.  Without  knowledge  of  their  service  a 
picked  set  of  men  was  detailed  for  that  purpose  under  the  com- 
mand of  Andrews.  For  this  reason  it  is  known  as  the  "Andrews 
Raid".  The  men  selected  for  this  perilous  errand  were  all  Ohio 
soldiers,  except  Wm.  Campbell  of  Kentucky.  Their  names  and 
regiments  are  as  follows:  William  Knight,  Co.  E;  Wilson  W. 
Brown,  Co.  F;  Mark  Wood,  Co.  C;  J.  A.  Wilson,  Co.  C;  John  R. 
Porter,  Co.  C ;  Robert  Buffuni,  Co.  H ;  William  Bensinger,  Co. 
G;  John  Scott,  Co.  K,  and  Sergeant  E.  H.  Mason,  Co.  K,  all  of 
the  Twenty-First  Ohio ;  Daniel  A.  Dorsey,  Co.  H ;  Martin  J.  Haw- 
kins, Co.  A ;  John  Wollam,  Co.  C ;  Jacob  Parrott,  Co.  K ;  Corporal 
William  Reddick,  Co.  B;  Samuel  Robinson,  Co.  G,  and  Samuel 
Slavens,  Co.  G,  all  of  the  Thirty-Third  Ohio;  Captain  William 
Pittenger,  Co.  G ;  George  D.  Wilson,  Co.  B ;  Marion  Ross,  Co.  A. 
Sergeant  Major  of  the  Regiment,  and  Perry  D.  Shadrack,  Co.  K, 
all  of  the  Second  Ohio.  These  twenty-two  men  left  their  camp 
at  Shelbyville,  Tennessee,  April  7,  1862,  crossed  the  moun- 
tains in  different  squads,  arrived  at  Chattanooga,  and 
by  raid  penetrated  the  heart  of  the  Southern  Confederacy.  They 
assembled  at  Big  Shanty  on  the  Georgia  State  Railroad,  where 
there  were  encamped  about  10,000  Confederate  troops.  At  this 
point  was  communicated  to  them  the  duty  they  were  expected  to 
do,  viz :  destroy  the  track  and  bridges  on  the  line  of  this  road

274  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

be  necessary  to  destroy  the  track  and  bridges  from  Big  Shanty 
to  and  beyond  Chattanooga  and  as  far  as  Bridgeport,  Tennessee. 

The  story  of  this  raid  as  given  in  the  plain  language  of  the 
actors  taken  as  testimony  before  Judge  Advocate  General  forms 
the  most  daring  adventure  of  the  war.  The  expedition  failed  in 
its  purpose,  but  the  seizing  of  the  train  at  Big  Shanty,  the  pur- 
suit by  the  Confederates,  the  capture  of  the  raiders,  the  execution 
of  Andrews  and  six  of  his  associates  all  testify  to  the  superb 
courage  and  patriotism  of  these  brave  men. 

The  true  estimate  of  the  great  danger  of  this  enterprise  to 
the  Southern  Confederacy  was  given  in  the  Southern  Confederacy, 
a  prominent  Atlanta  Journal  dated  the  15th  of  April,  1862: 
"The  mind  and  heart  shrinks  back  appalled  at  the.  bare  contem- 
plation of  the  awful  consequences  which  would  have  followed  the 
success  of  this  one  act.  We  doubt  if  the  victory  of  Manassas 
or  Corinth  was  worth  as  much  to  us  as  the  frustration  of  this 
grand  cotip  d'  etat.  It  is  not  bv  any  means  certain  that  the 
annihilation  of  Beauregard's  whole  army  at  Corinth  would  be  so 
fatal  a  blow  to  us  as  would  have  been  the  burning  of  the  bridges 
at  that  time  by  these  men." 

Those  of  the  expedition  executed  were :  George  D.  Wilson, 
Co.  B ;  Marion  A.  Ross,  Co.  A,  the  Sergeant  Major  of  the  Regi- 
ment ;  Perry  G.  Shadrack,  Co.  K,  all  of  the  Second  Ohio ;  Samuel 
Robinson,  Co.  G  and  Samuel  Slavens,  Co.  D,  both  of  the  Thirty- 
Third  Ohio;  John  Scott,  Co.  K,  Twenty-First  Ohio;  William 
Campbell,  a  citizen  of  Kentucky,  and  J.  J.  Andrews,  a  citizen  of 
Kentucky  and  leader  of  the  raiders.

This  was  the  first  of  a  series  of  annual  banquets  that  for 
twenty-five  years  have  been  the  means  of  contributing  much  to 
the  Civil  War  literature  of  Ohio.  The  addresses  have  been  of 
a  high  order  and  of  great  value  from  a  historical  standpoint, 
representing  in  nearly  every  instance  the  individual  observations 
and  experiences  of  eye-witnesses  to  and  participators  in,  the 
great  events  discussed.  On  this  occasion  Ex-President  (Major

First  Lieutenant  C.  D.  Mitchell's  address  on  "Echoes  from 
War  Songs"  is  a  review  of  the  ballad  literature  of  the  Civil  War. 
He  traces  the  growth  and  expression  of  the  popular  songs  of  that 
period  in  an  interesting  and  instructive  style.  A  valuable  remin- 
iscential  paper  on  "Lincoln  and  Douglas"  by  Hon.  Clark  E.  Carr 
who  knew  both  characters,  forms  the  important  historical  con- 
tribution of  this  meeting.  General  H.  V.  Boynton  spoke  on  the 
great  war  leaders  furnished  by  Ohio  and  refers  in  detail  to  the 
numerous  soldiers  that  attained  distinction  who  have  been  mem- 
bers of  this  Commandery.

Full  Page  Illustrations  and  Frontispiece  Containing  Portraits 

of  Generals  Rosecrans,  Thomas,  Bragg  and  Longstreet. 

One  of  the  official  publications  of  the  State,  now  out  of 
print  and  very  scarce.  It  contains  an  elaborate  map  of  the  battle- 
field of  Chickamaug;a,  a  brief  history  of  the  battle,  and  sketches 
of  the  Ohio  batteries  and  regiments  engaged  in  it,  with  their 
movements  and  participation  during  the  two  terrible  days  it  was 
fought.  \\'ith  each  sketch  is  a  fine  half-tone  photo  engraving 
of  one  of  the  fifty-five  monuments  erected  by  the  state  to  com- 
memorate the  location  of  the  regiments  and  batteries  in  the 
engagement. 

Then  follows  the  report  of  the  work  of  the  Ohio  Commis- 
sion in  the  erection  and  dedication  of  these  monuments.  The 
volume  is  a  worthy  testimonial  of  the  State  of  Ohio  to  the 
memory  of  her  brave  sons  who  fell  in  one  of  the  bloodiest 
battles  of  modern  times. 

The  commission  who  had  the  work  in  hand  of  marking  the 
battlefield  and  making  this  report  was  appointed  by  Governor 
James  E.  Campbell  May  5,  1891.  It  consisted  of  the  following, 
all  of  whom  participated  in  the  battles  of  Chickamauga :  Gen. 
John  Beatty,  Gen.  Ferdinand  Van  Derveer,  Gen.  C.  H.  Gros- 
venor,  Gen.  Aquila  Wiley,  Capt.  J.  C.  McElroy,  J.  S.  Gill,  An- 
drew Jackson,  and  Frederick  Wendell.  In  December,  1892, 
Col.  James  \\'atson  was  appointed  to  succeed  Gen.  \^an  Derveer, 
deceased. 

General  Boynton  characterizes  Chickamauga  as  tlie  "most 
noted  battlefield  of  modern  times,  when  measured  by  the  stub- 
born and  undaunted  fighting  done  upon  it  —  a  standard  whose 
fairness  there  will  be  none  to  dispute".  Of  the  losses  at  Chicka- 
mauga he  says:  "\\'ellington  lost  12  per  cent  at  Waterloo; 
Napoleon,  14^  per  cent  at  -Austerlitz  and  14  per  cent  at  Mar- 
engo. The  average  losses  of  both  armies  at  Magenta  and  Sol- 
ferino  in  1859  was  less  than  9  per  cent.  At  Koniggratz  in  1866, 
it  was  6  per  cent.  At  Worth,  Mars-la-Tour,  Gravelotte  and 
Sedan,  in   1870,  the  average  was   12  per  cent.     The  marvel  of

German  fighting  in  the  Franco-Prussian  \V'ar  was  by  the  Third 
Westphahan  Infantry  at  Mars-la-Tour.  It  took  3,000  men  into 
action  and  lost  40.4  per  cent.  Next  to  this  record  was  that  of 
the  Garde-Schutzen  IBattalion,  1,000  strong  at  Metz,  which  lost 
46.1  per  cent.  There  were  several  brigades  on  each  side  at 
Chickamauga  whose  losses  exceeded  these  figures  for  Mars-la- 
Tour  and  Metz.  The  average  losses  on  each  side  for  the  troops 
that  fought  through  the  two  days  were  fully  33  per  cent,  and 
for  some  even  75  per  cent".  See  The  National  Military  Park,

burg. The  proceedings  upon  the  formal  dedication  of  the  monu- 
ments are  given  in  full,  as  well  as  the  speeches  delivered  upon 
that  occasion.  It  is  a  valuable  and  reliable  record.  Alfred  E. 
Lee,  Secretary  to  the  Commission,  contributes  to  the  volume  a 
well-written  description  of  the  battles  of  the  three  days,  accom- 
panied by  maps. 

The  battle  of  Gettysbtirg  fought  July  i,  2  and  3,  1863,  was 
the  supreme  crisis  of  the  war,  and  ranks  with  the  great  battles  of 
history.  The  State  of  Ohio  had  of  her  troops  engaged  therein, 
thirteen  regiments  of  infantry,  four  batteries  of  lit^ht  artillery 
and  one  regiment  and  two  companies  of  cavalry.  Tlie  following

This  commission  was  appointed  by  Governor  George  K. 
Nash,  under  and  by  autliority  of  an  act  passed  April  i6,  1900, 
by  the  General  Assembly  of  Ohio.  Its  object  was  to  locate  the 
positions  occupied  by  the  several  Ohio  connnands  on  and  near 
the  investment  lines  during  the  siege  of  Vicksburg,  and  to  mark 
such  locations  with  creditable  monuments. 

The  Commission  as  appointed  by  Governor  Nash  consisted 
of  General  Andrew  Hickenlooper,  of  the  Fifth  Ohio  Artillery; 
Captain  E.  Z.  Hays,  of  the  Thirty-Second  Ohio  Infantry;  Major 
Charles  Hipp,  of  the  Thirty-Seventh  Ohio  Infantry;  Sergeant 
W.  P.  Gault,  of  the  Seventy-Eighth  Ohio  Infantry;  Colonel  A. 
H.  Brown,  of  the  Ninety-Sixth  Ohio  Infantry,  and  Sergeant 
Josiah  B.  Allen,  of  the  Thirtieth  Ohio  Infantry.  Through  the 
death  of  General  Hickenlooper  and  the  illness  of  Colonel  Brown, 
vacancies  occurred  which  were  filled  by  the  appointment  of 
Colonel  James  Kilbourne,  of  the  Ninety-Fifth  Ohio  Infantry, 
and  Colonel  William  H.  Raynor,  of  the  Fifty-Sixth  Ohio  In- 
fantry. 

This  report  contains  the  history  of  every  Ohio  organization 
that  was  engaged  in  the  Mcksburg  campaign  and  illustrations  of 
the  monuments  erected  in  the  locations  occupied  by  them.  It 
has  also  the  proceedings  of  the  dedication,  the  ceremonies  and 
addresses  delivered  on  that  occasion. 

The  following  Ohio  organizations  are  shown  by  the  report 
to  have  been  engaged  in  the  campaign  and  siege  of  Vicksburg 
from  March  29  to  July  4,  1863:  Infantry  Regiments:  Six- 
teenth, Twentieth.  Twenty-Second,  Thirtieth,  Thirty-Second, 
Thirty-Seventh.  Forty-Second,  Forty-Sixth,  Forty-Seventh, 
Forty-Eighth,  Fifty-Third,  Fifty-Fourth,  Fifty-Sixth,  Fifty-Sev- 
enth, Fifty-Eighth,  Sixty-Eighth,  Seventieth,  Seventy-Second, 
Seventy-Sixth,  Seventy-Eighth,  Eightieth,  Eighty-Third,  Ninety- 
Fifth,  Ninety-Sixth,  One  Hundred  and  Fourteenth  and  One 
Hundred  and  Twentieth ;  Artillery :  Second,  Third,  Fourth, 
Fifth,  Seventh,  Eighth,  Tenth,  Eleventh,  Fifteenth,  Sixteenth, 
Seventeenth  and  Twenty-Sixth  Batteries  Ohio  Light  Artillery. 
Also  the  Fourth  Company  of  Ohio  Cavalry,  General  Mc- 
Pherson's  escort. 

This  report,  like  those  of  Antietam,  Gettysburg,  Chicka- 
mauga  and  Shiloh,  forms  a  valuable  and  reliable  history  of  the 
part  Ohio  troops  played  in  that  battle.  They  are  all  well  written 
and  constitute  accurate  and  important  additions  to  the  Civil  War 
literature  of  the  State.

ORGANIZATION,    ETC.  293 

The  platforms  of  the  poHtical  parties  in  Ohio,  before, 
during  and  immediately  after  the  War,  are  a  necessary  part  of 
the  literature  of  that  period,  and  are  essential  in  studying  the 
political  condition  of  the  times.  These  platforms  show  that  the 
people  of  Ohio  were  divided  between  the  Union  party  and  the 
Democratic  party.  The  former  was  composed  of  Republicans 
and  Democrats  favorable  to  a  vigorous  prosecution  of  the  War, 
and  to  sustaining  the  administration  of  Mr.  Lincoln ;  all  prior 
issues  were  ignored.  This  party  distinction  obtained  until  1867, 
when  the  name  the  "Republican  Union"  was  assumed ;  this 
appears  in  the  platforms  until  i86g  when  the  name  "Republican," 
which  was  last  used  in  i860,  was  resumed.

The  companies  of  this  regiment  were  recruited  from  the 
counties  of  Erie,  Huron,  Sandusky,  Seneca,  and  Wyandot. 
These  pages  demonstrate  how  well  the  regiment  deserved  and 
how  gallantly  it  maintained  its  reputation.  All  the  chapters  not 
credited  to  others  are  by  the  author  who  was  a  captain  of  the 
regiment.  The  chapters  by  Lieutenant  Colonel  C.  P.  Wickham, 
Captain  W.  S.  Wickham  and  Rev.  W.  A.  Keesey  have  special 
value  and  the  one  by  Charlotte  Wooster  Boalt  entitled  "The 
Women  in  the  War",  having  special  reference  to  relief  work 
in  Huron  County  is  of  exceptional  interest.  The  history  is  one 
of  the  best  regimental  contributions.  Its  narration  of  four  years' 
service  almost  entirely  on  the  front  and  on  the  firing  line  is  in

true  historical  style,  and  the  campaigns  of  Virginia,  Gettysburg 
and  the  March  to  the  Sea  are  described  fully  because  the  Fifty- 
Fifth  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  played  an  honorable  part  in  all. 

This  regiment  was  organized  at  Norwalk,  Ohio,  from  Sep- 
tember to  December,  1861,  to  serve  three  years.  Its  honorable 
service  is  testified  to  by  the  following  list  of  battles  in  which  it 
participated:  McDowell,  Va.,  May  8,  1862;  Cross  Keyes,  Va., 
June  8,  1862;  Cedar  Mountain,  Va.,  August  9,  1862;  Second

During  its  term  of  service  this  regiment  enrolled  about  one 
thousand  three  hundred  and  fifty  men,  and  of  these,  about  seven 
hundred  and  fifty  were  either  killed  or  wounded  in  battle.  Ten 
of  its  officers  were  wounded  once  or  more,  and  eight  officers 
either  died  of  wounds  or  were  killed  in  battle.

Five  days  after  President  Lincoln's  first  call  for  troops, 
Chapin  Hall,  Cleveland,  was  filled  with  ladies  who  gathered  to- 
gether to  inaugurate  plans  to  serve  their  country  in  its  impend- 
ing peril.  What  they  did  and  how  it  was  accomplished  is  told 
in  this  volume.  Every  historical  detail  is  here  given ;  the  method 
of  operation,  the  names  of  the  numerous  women  who  partici- 
pated in  the  work  and  a  complete  record  of  all  supplies  collected 
and  distributed.  The  Soldiers'  Aid  Society  of  Cleveland  was 
recognized  by  the  United  States  Sanitary  Commission  as  a  val- 
uable adjunct  and  it  was  soon  extended  over  Northern  Ohio. 
These  women  through  an  association  exclusively  operated  by 
women,  issued  to  the  Cnion  soldiers  in  the  field,  supplies  valued 
as  follows:  Bedding  and  clothing,  $645,234.50;  hospital  furni- 
ture and  surgeon's  supplies,  $55,017.45;  diet  and  delicacies, 
$256,053.50;  miscellaneous,  $26,175.80;  total,  $982,481.25.  In 
addition  they  afforded  special  relief  to  soldiers  at  home  in  the 
way  of  aid  to  the  sick,  $35,536.33. 

This  work  is  divided  into  two  parts.  Part  I  —  General  His- 
tory, by  Mary  Clark  Brayton.  Part  II  —  Special  Relief,  by 
Ellen  F.  Terry.  A  complete  knowledge  of  what  Ohio  did  in 
the  war  cannot  be  realized  until  one  has  read  this  history  of  the

296  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO  ;.; 

This  little  volume  is  more  personal  than  historical,  and  the 
history  of  the  Seventy-Fourth  Regiment  is  largely  the  diary  of 
the  author.  It  is  interesting  for  that  reason  alone;  it  cannot  be 
regarded  of  great  value  historically.  In  addition  to  his  own 
regiment,  the  author  includes  sketches  of  all  the  regiments  in 
which  Greene  County  men  served,  so  that  the  work  includes  the 
Civil  War  history  of  that  county.  The  Seventy-Fourth  Ohio 
Volunteer  Infantry  was  organized  at  Xenia,  Greene  County,  in 
October,  1861.  Its  Colonel  was  Granville  Moody,  a  well-known 
Methodist  minister  and  popular  orator.  The  regiment  has  a 
fine  record  and  the  following  list  of  battles  was  honorably  par- 
ticipated in  by  it:  Stone  River,  Tenn.,  December  31,  1862,  to 
January  2,  1863;  Hoover's  Gap,  Teim.,  June  24,  1863;  Dug  Gap,

muster-rolls  in  the  Adjutant  General's  office  at  Columbus.  In 
this,  as  well  as  the  former  work,  the  author  does  not  attempt  a 
general  history  of  the  rebellion,  but  simply  a  history  of  his  own 
regiment  —  the  Seventy-Fourth  Ohio  —  and  parts  of  other  or- 
ganizations in  which  Greene  County  was  represented.  It  is  not 
however  confined  to  Greene  County  alone,  but  to  other  counties 
in  the  State  as  well."

PENDLETON    (GEORGE   H.)  299 

gives  an  interesting  account  of  the  regiment's  service.  The  first 
campaigning  was  in  western  Virginia.  The  regiment  was  the 
first  in  the  "On  to  Richmond"  advance  by  way  of  the  Rapidan, 
under  Gen.  John  Pope,  which  met  with  repulse.  It  was  also  at 
Chancellorsville,  where  it  suflfered  heavily,  and  at  Gettysburg 
and  in  other  notable  engagements.  It  was  also  a  part  of  the 
forces  sent  to  New  York  to  quell  the  draft  riots ;  it  was  also, 
following  this,  transferred  to  the  Department  of  the  Tennessee, 
where  it  aided  in  opening  the  "cracker  line"  that  made  possible 
the  capture  of  Lookout  Mountain  and  the  defeat  of  Hood's  army 
at  every  point.  During  much  of  this  time,  the  author  served  as 
quartermaster.  During  its  term  of  service,  this  regiment  took 
part  in  twenty-eight  different  engagements,  the  principal  of 
which  were:  Winchester,  Va.,  March  23,  1862;  Port  Republic, 
Va.,  June  9,  1862;  Cedar  Mountain,  Va.,  August  9,  1862;  An-

1862;  Chancellorsville,  Va.,  May  1-4,  1863J  Gettysburg,  Pa., 
July  1-3,  1863;  Lookout  Mountain,  Tenn.,  November  24,  1863; 
Dallas,  Ga.,  May  25  to  June  4,  1864;  Kenesaw  Mountain, 
Ga.,  June  9-30,  1864;  Assault  on  Kenesaw  Mountain,  Ga.,  June

December  10-21,  1864,  and  Goldsboro,  N.  C,  March  21,  1865. 

This  regiment  was  organized  at  Camp  Dennison,  Ohio,  June 
21,  1861,  to  serve  three  years  and  was  retained  in  service  until 
July  26,  1865,  when  it  was  mustered  out  by  the  War  Department. 

Included  in  this  work  are  addresses  which  the  author  de- 
livered on  the  occasion  of  the  reunion  of  his  regiment  at  Cin- 
cinnati in  September,  1898;  at  the  National  Military  Home  at 
Dayton  and  also  various  addresses  to  the  Union  Veteran  Legion 
at  its  encampments. 

The  book  was  not  published  for  general  circulation  as  only 
a  limited  number  of  copies  were  printed.

It  is  the  initiatory  declaration  of  his  peace  principles  which  he 
adhered  to  and  advocated  throughout  the  war.  He  was  one  of 
the  most  distinguished  and  able  of  the  Democratic  statesmen  of 
his  time,  and  was  a  consistent  and  persistent  anti-Administra- 
tion leader  throughout  all  the  period  of  the  Civil  War. 

George  H.  Pendleton  was  born  at  Cincinnati,  July  25,  1825. 
In  1854-5  he  served  in  the  Ohio  Senate  and  was  a  member  of 
Congress  in  1856-65.  In  1864  he  was  a  candidate  for  Vice  Pres- 
ident on  the  Democratic  ticket.  In  1878  he  was  elected  Unitcil 
States  Senator  from  Ohio,  and  in  1882  he  introduced  the  Civil 
Service  reform  bill  known  by  his  name,  and  passed  in  1883.  He 
was  appointed  Minister  to  Germany  by  President  Cleveland  in 
1885.     Died  at  Brussels,  Belgium,  November  24,  1889.

The  suspension  of  the  writ  of  habeas  corpus  was  ordered  by 
President  Lincoln  early  in  the  Rebellion.  April  27th,  1861,  he 
authorized  Lieutenant  General  Winfield  Scott  to  .suspend  the  writ 
for  the  public  safety.  This  military  power  was  exercised  through- 
out the  war.  Mr.  Pendleton  as  one  of  the  leading  Democratic 
opponents  of  the  war  and  President  Lincoln's  administration  was 
an  uncompromising  enemy  of  the  exercise  of  this  extraordinary 
power.  In  this  speech  he  reviews  the  history  of  the  great  writ 
and  discusses  dispassionately  the  grave  question  involved.  A 
complete  answer  to  his  position  is  found  in  Mr.  Lincoln's  letter 
to  the  Albany  Convention.     See  "Lincoln,  Abraham". 

The  suspension  of  the  writ  of  habeas  corpus  was  ordered 
by  Jefferson  Davis,  President  of  the  Confederacy  at  various 
times  during  the  Rebellion  throughout  the  Southern  States,  and 
under  his  order,  many  Union  men  of  the  South  were  arrested 
and  imprisoned  without  trial.

The  government  in  the  prosecution  of  the  war  in  order  to 
raise  money  authorized  the  issue  of  United  States  notes,  popu- 
larly called  "greenbacks".  Mr.  Pendleton  opposed  this  legisla- 
tion on  the  ground  that  it  was  unconstitutional  and  in  this  speech 
he  strongly  states  his  position  and  argument.

A  severe  arraignment  of  Mr.  Pendleton's  attitude  to  the 
Union  cause  charging  Iiim  on  his  record  in  Congress  as  being^ 
in  favor  of  secession,  opposed  to  the  raising  of  armies  to  put 
down  the  Rebellion  and  in  many  ways  endeavoring  to  embarrass 
and  hinder  the  constituted  autliorities  in  their  efforts  to  vindicate

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  8. 

A  political  broadside  containing  two  letters  written  by  Mr. 
Pendleton.  In  one  dated  Cincinnati,  October  17,  he  says  no  one 
would  deprecate  more  heartily  than  he  the  establishment  of  an- 
other government  over  any  portion  of  the  Union,  and  that  he 
was  opposed  to  any  policy  which  would  defeat  the  re-establish- 
ment of  the  Government  on  its  old  foundations  and  territorial 
integrity.  In  the  other,  under  date  of  October  18,  he  defended 
his  votes  in  Congress  on  war  measures.  In  the  speech  he  de- 
clared that  his  party  was  pledged  to  unswerving  fidelity  to  the 
Union  under  the  Constitution.  The  reprints  of  newspaper  edi- 
torials were  to  the  effect  that  Mr.  Pendleton's  election  would  be 
worse  for  the  cause  of  the  South  than  Mr.  Lincoln's,  their  re- 
production evidently  being  for  their  adverse  influence  on  North- 
ern sentiment.

A  remarkable  contribution  to  the  study  of  Lincoln's  life, 
written  by  an  Ohio  author.  He  discusses  a  side  of  the  great 
Emancipator's  nature  not  fully  understood  and  little  touched 
upon  by  his  biographers.  The  facts  gathered  in  these  pages 
show  Lincoln  to  have  been  of  a  deep  religious  temperament 
with  an  implicit  faith  in  a  personal  God,  and  a  strong  belief  and 
confidence  in  the  efficacy  of  prayer.

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  522. 

Herein  the  author  writes  his  personal  recollections  from 
the  time  that  General  Sherman  took  command  of  the  Army  of 


PEPPER    (GEORGE  W.)  303 

the  Tennessee  to  the  end  of  the  Rebellion.  He  does  not  claim 
to  give  a  complete  narration  of  all  the  movements  of  Sherman's 
army,  but  he  has  arranged  and  written  an  impartial  history  of 
the  most  prominent  engagements  and  campaigns  in  the  states 
of  Georgia  and  the  Carolinas.  It  is  one  of  the  very  earliest  of 
the  contributions  of  Ohio  writers  to  the  literature  of  the  Civil 
War,  and  is  attractively  written,  the  author  possessing  marvel- 
ous power  of  narration  and  description. 

In  the  beginning  of  the  War,  the  author  was  pastor  of  the 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church  in  Coshocton,  Ohio.  He  enlisted  and 
was  made  captain  of  Company  H  Eightieth  Ohio  Volunteer  In- 
fantry. In  1863,  by  request  of  his  regiment,  he  was  appointed 
its  chaplain.  He  has  embodied  in  his  work  much  of  his  observa- 
tions in  that  capacity ;  the  volume  when  published,  received  the 
written  approval  of  Governor  Tod,  Generals  Sherman,  Cox  and 
Miles  as  well  as  Senator  Charles  Sumner.

in  detail.  This  is  a  campaign  speech  but  far  above  the  average. 
The  historical  resume  of  the  accomplishments  of  the  first  term 
of  Mr.  Lincoln  is  presented  with  clearness.  There  is  a  severe 
criticism  of  the  Democratic  party,  its  candidates  and  August

Cloth.    12  mo.  pp.  XXVI  and  302,  with  5  Full  Page  Portraits. 

A  brilliant  work,  full  of  satire  and  sarcasm.  Belittles  Grant 
and  glorifies  Thomas.  Contains  a  splendid  sketch  of  Edwin 
M.  Stanton ;  the  author  gives  him  full  credit  and  great  praise,  as 
he  does  Salmon  P.  Chase.  It  is  full  of  venom  and  personal  feel- 
ing. The  writer  was  one  of  the  most  talented  contributors  to  the 
literature  of  the  war  period,  but  most  of  his  work  is  impaired 
by  a  spirit  of  unfairness. 

Donn  Piatt  was  born  in  Cincinnati,  June  29,  1819.  In 
1851  he  was  appointed  judge  of  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas  of 
Hamilton  County,  Ohio ;  he  was  secretary  of  legation  at  Paris 
under  President  Pierce,  .^t  the  outbreak  of  the  civil  war  he 
entered  the  Union  army  as  a  private,  attained  the  rank  of  col- 
onel and  was  assistant  adjutant-general  on  the  staflf  of  General 
Robert  C.  Schenck.  He  entered  journalism  in  Washington,  D. 
C,  founded  and  edited  the  Washington  "Capital",  by  which  he 
raised  a  constant  turmoil  in  his  criticism  and  bitter  attacks  on 
public  men.  Later  he  returned  to  Ohio  where  he  engaged  in 
literature  and  farming.  He  died  at  Cleveland,  November  12, 
1891.

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  Vlll  and  658,  with  Full  Page  Portrait  of  General  Thomas. 

A  vivid  biography,  picturing  General  Thomas  as  one  of  the 
greatest  generals  of  the  war,  which  he  undoubtedly  was,  but  it 
is  marred  by  scurrilous  abuse  of  General  Grant  and  reflections 
on  every  other  great  general  of  the  Union  cause.  The  closing 
chapters  are  by  General  H.  V.  Boynton  who  took  up  this  part 
on  Donn  Piatt's  death.  General  Boynton  has  written  in  the  same 
spirit  as  the  chief  author,  and  devotes  much  of  his  work  to 
drastic  and  largely  unwarranted  criticism  of  General  Sherman. 
Notwithstanding  these  bad  features,  this  volume  contains  much 
that  is  good,  true  and  valuable  concerning  the  war,  and  it  is 
entitled  to  rank  among  tiie  important  writings  contributed  by 
Ohio  meti  to  Rebellion  literature.

This  is  the  narrative  of  an  intrepid  Ohio  soldier  and  illus- 
trates a  phase  of  army  life  and  experience  that  is  as  sensational 
and  dangerous  as  it  is  useful  and  necessary.  The  reliability  of 
the  author's  statements  and  service  is  certified  to  by  the  officers 
under  whose  orders  he  acted.  He  enlisted  at  Portsmouth  and 
afterwards  resided  at  Hillsboro  where  this  volume  was  written.

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  148,  with  Portraits  —  2  Full  Page. 

This  regiment  was  recruited  almost  wholly  from  the  coun- 
ties of  Stark,  Columbiana,  Summit  and  Portage.  It  was  mus- 
tered into  the  service  at  Camp  Massillon,  August  30,  1862,  and 
the  1st  of  September  it  left  for  Cincinnati  to  defend  that  city 
against  the  threatened  raid  of  the  rebel  general,  Kirby  Smith, 
who  was  then  besieging  the  city.  At  Covington,  Kentucky,  the 
One  Hundred  and  Fourth  Ohio  Infantry  met  the  Confederate 
forces  and  in  the  engagement  lost  one  man  killed  and  five 
wounded.  The  enemy's  loss  was  double  that.  This  was  the 
first  and  only  blood  shed  in  the  defense  of  Cincinnati. 

In  this  volume  the  author  follows  the  fortunes  of  the  regi- 
ment from  the  first  engagement  at  Covington,  Kentucky,  Sep- 
tember ID,  1862,  to  that  at  Town  Creek,  North  Carolina,  Febru- 
ary 20,  1865.  Added  to  the  history  of  its  regimental  campaigns 
and  services  are  the  personal  observations  of  the  writer. 

The  appendix  contains  the  list  of  annual  reunions,  and 
roster  of  officers  and  men,  by  companies,  giving  the  military 
biography  of  each. 

This  regiment  was  engaged  in  the  following  battles :  Cov- 
ington, Ky.,  September  10,  1862;  Danville,  Ky.,  March  24,  1863; 
Siege  of  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  November  17,  to  December  4,  1863;

While  the  subject  of  this  volume  is  the  adventures  narrated 
in  the  preceding  title,  the  present  one  is  a  broader  and  more  his- 
toric narration.  The  author  in  his  preface  says,  "a  large  amount 
of  valuable  material  is  now  employed  for  the  first  time;  and  the 
story  is  approached  in  an  entirely  different  manner.  No  para- 
graph of  the  old  book  is  copied  into  the  new."  The  books  of 
this  author  on  this  subject  have  had  an  extremely  wide  circula-

single  episode  of  the  Civil  War.

Cloth.    Large  8  vo.  />/>.  4<)0,  with  84  Illustrations. 

In  this,  the  fourth  and  last  edition,  Mr.  Pittenger  has  given 
the  last  word  of  the  Andrews  Raid,  after  having  full  recourse 
to  the  Rebellion  Records  at  Washington,  and  going  over  the 
territory  he  and  his  associates  traversed  during  the  War.  It 
becomes,  in  this  edition,  more  of  a  historical  work  than  a  nar- 
rative of  adventure,  though  he  has  preserved  all  the  thrilling 
narrative  of  the  former  editions.  It  also  includes  more  ex- 
tended statements  from  the  survivors  concerning  their  individual 
trials  and  experiences  after  the  lamentable  failure  of  the  ex- 
pedition. A  full  account  of  the  capture,  imprisonment  and  the 
execution  of  eight  of  the  raiders  is  given  with  great  historical 
detail  and  earnestness.  All  the  official  documents,  both  Union 
and  Confederate,  relating  to  the  venture  are  given  in  detail. 
This  work  is  one  of  the  most  important  to  the  literature  of  the 
Rebellion  and  it  records  the  greatest  and  most  daring  sacrifice 
that  Ohio  soldiers  made  to  the  cruel  demands  of  the  Civil  War.

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  340,  with  5  Portraits  in  Frontispiece. 

A  remarkable  and  startling  compilation  of  evidence  showing 
how  the  Northern  sympathizers  in  Ohio  and  Indiana  with  the 
Southern  Rebellion  sought  to  give  it  aid  and  insure  its  success 
by  designs  both  daring  and  malignant.  These  plans  were 
checked  and  a  great  calamity  averted  by  the  military  power. 


PLAN,    ETC.  309 

The  cliief  actors  were  seized  by  the  mihtary,  tried  and  con- 
demned by  a  military  tribunal.  This  volume  contains  the  full 
stenographic  report  of  the  charges,  specifications  and  trial  of 
William  A.  Bowles,  Andrew  Humphreys,  Horace  Heffren,  L.  P. 
Milligan  and  Stephen  Horsey  for  aiding  the  enemies  of  the 
United  States. 

The  evidence  showed  the  existence  of  a  secret  political  or- 
ganization known  as  the  Order  of  the  American  Knights  or 
Order  of  the  Sons  of  Liberty  for  the  purpose  of  overthrowing 
the  Government  and  duly  constituted  authorities  of  the  United 
States.  One  of  its  specific  objects  was  to  release  by  force  the 
prisoners  at  Camp  Chase  and  Johnson's  Island  in  the  State  of 
Ohio,  as  well  as  at  Camp  Douglas,  Illinois,  and  Camp  Morton, 
Indiana. 

The  testimony  further  showed  that  this  organization  was 
widespread  in  Ohio  and  that  its  head  was  Clement  L.  Vallandig- 
ham.     See  "Vallandigham,  Clement  L." 

In  addition  to  the  official  proceedings  the  exhibits  in  the 
case  are  published  among  which  is  the  "Ritual  of  the  Knights  of 
the  Golden  Circle",  also  the  Official  Report  of  the  Judge  Advo-

The  "U.  C."  (Union  Clubs)  secret  organization  originated 
in  the  month  of  May,  1861,  at  Louisville,  for  the  purpose  of  sav- 
ing Kentucky  from  secession.  From  the  success  which  followed 
its  introductory  purpose,  it  was  deemed  advisable  to  extend  the 
organization  into  other  States,  especially  to  combat  the  Knights 
of  the  Golden  Circle  and  kindred  societies.  This  account  is  a 
report  of  the  acts  of  the  representatives  of  the  various  clubs  in

In  this  speech  is  foreshadowed  the  parting  of  the  Northern

slavery.     Senator  Pugh  was  the  most  brilliant  of  all  the  Northern

ability.  He  severely  denounces  the  idea  of  Disunion,  as  threat- 
ened by  the  speeches  of  the  Southern  Senators.  Senator  Pugh's 
speech  is  an  authoritative  statement  of  the  position  assumed  by 
the  Democratic  party  of  the  North  to  that  of  the  South.

of  Ohio,  in  Keply  to  Messrs.  Iverson  and  Green,  in  the 
Senate  of  the  United  States.  Wednesday,  January  11, 
1860.    Washington  :    Printed  by  Lemuel  Towers.    1860. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  32. 

Senator  Pugh  herein  censures  the  South  for  its  aggressive 
attitude  on  the  slavery  question  and  for  its  unreasonable  opposi- 
tion to  the  Northern  Democrats  for  supporting  "squatter  sov- 
ereignty". It  replies  to  the  radical  speeches  of  Senator  Iverson, 
of  Georgia,  and  Senator  Green,  of  Missouri,  and  defends  the 
position  of  Senator  Stephen  A.  Douglas,  of  Illinois.  It  illus- 
trates and  defines  the  position  of  the  leading  Northern  Demo- 
crats on  the  slavery  question  just  before  the  war,  and  especially 
has  reference  to  the  Democratic  party  in  Ohio. 

George  E.  Pugh  was  born  in  Cincinnati  November  28, 
1822.  He  served  in  the  Mexican  war,  commanding  one  of  the 
companies  of  the  Fourth  Regiment  of  Ohio  Volunteers.  In  1848 
he  was  elected  to  the  Ohio  House  of  Representatives  and  re- 
elected in  1849.  He  served  as  United  States  Senator  for  a  full 
term  from  March  4,  1855,  to  March  4,  1861.  In  the  Senate  dur- 
ing his  single  term  he  showed  great  power  and  ability  in  the  dis- 
cussions on  the  Kansas-Nebraska  and  Slavery  questions.  In 
1863  he  was  nominated  for  Lieutenant-Governor  on  the  ticket 
with  Clement  L.  Vallandigham.  He  had  been  Mr.  Vallandigham's 
counsel  in  the  habeas  corpus  proceedings  growing  out  of  his 
(Vallandigham's)  arrest,  and  delivered  in  the  case  a  profound 
argument  before  United  States  Judge  II.  H.  Leavitt.  In  his 
profession  he  was  at  the  head  of  the  bar  of  Ohio.  He  was  an 
able  lawyer,  a  great  advocate  and  an  accomplished  orator.  He 
died  at  Cincinnati,  July  19,  1876.

Hon.  William  L.  Yancey,  of  Alabama,  in  a  speech  represen-

supported  the  platform  presented  by  the  majority  of  the  Commit- 
tee on  Resolutions.  Mr.  Pugh  in  this  speech  opposed  the  re- 
port of  the  committee.  He  desired  his  party  not  to  commit  it- 
self to  the  extension  and  perpetuation  of  slavery.  "I  desire  the 
people  of  the  United  States,"  said  he,  "North  and  South,  to  en- 
gage in  some  other  discussion — to  quarrel,  if  need  be,  on  some- 
thing else  than  this  eternal  business  of  slavery  and  slaves."

A  plea  for  conciliation  of  the  South,  and  an  attack  on  the 
position  of  the  Republican  party.  His  plan  is  expressed  as  fol- 
lows: "Let  us  revive  the  Missouri  Compromise  in  all  its  prin- 
ciple and  affect ;  let  us  put  it  into  the  Constitution  of  the  United 
States ;  let  us  declare  that  it  shall  be  unalterable,  except  by  con- 
sent of  all  the  States."  He  asks  that  the  people  of  the  slave- 
holding  states  be  given  additional  guarantees  as  to  their  insti- 
tution of  slavery.  The  speech  is  a  strong,  logical  and  eloquent 
argument  against  the  growing  public  sentiment  in  the  North 
against  slavery  and  secession.

Cover  title,  "Executive  Documents."  The  Quartermaster 
General  by  state  law  was  the  custodian  of  arms,  equipments  and 
munitions  of  war.  Under  the  peace  establishment  the  care  of 
public  arms  was  his  chief  and  almost  exclusive  duty,  but  upon  the 
breaking  out  of  the  Civil  War  it  became  an  important  branch 
of  the  public  service.  This  report  gives  the  fullest  information 
regarding  the  arming  and  clothing  of  the  Ohio  Volunteers.  For 
clothing  alone  the  State  expended  from  April  15  to  December  15, 
1861,  $117,349.35.  During  the  same  period  of  eight  months  the 
total  liabilities  and  expenditures  of  the  State  for  clothing,  arms, 
ammunition,  transportation,  camps  and  hospitals,  horses,  arsenal, 
etc.,  was  $2,094,286.62.

A  brief  and  scant  record,  beins;  a  simple  statement  of  events, 
written,  as  the  author  says,  "almost  from  memory,  owing  to  the 
fact  that  all  the  regiment's  notes  and  papers  have  been  captured 
as  will  be  seen  before  concluding  this  narrative". 

The  Seven Ih  Ohio  Volunteer  Cavalry  was  recruited  from 
the  counties  in  the  southwestern  part  of  the  State,  and  was  mus- 
tered into  the  service  from  September  12  to  November  8, 
1862,  to  serve  three  years.  During  its  service  it  numbered  four- 
teen hundred  men;  when  mustered  out,  July  4,  1865,  it  had  left 
eight  hundred  and  forty  men,  showing  a  loss  of  five  hundred 
and  sixty  by  the  casualties  of  war. 

The  battles  and  engagements  in  which  the  regiment  partici- 
pated are  as  follows:  Carter's  Station,  Tenn.,  December  30, 
1862,  and  September  22,  1863 ;  Mt.  Sterling,  Ky.,  March  24,

This  history  was  prepared  by  a  committee  of  the  regiment, 
and  is  a  faithful  record  of  the  marches,  campaigns  and  engage- 
ments in  which  it  participated  from  October,  1862,  to  Johnston's 
surrender  in  April,  1865.  It  is  written  in  narrative  form,  and 
there  is  an  absence  of  all  personal  adventures  and  sketches.  A 
complete  record  of  each  individual  of  the  organization  is  also 
given,  which  is  of  great  value. 

This  regiment  was  recruited  from  the  counties  of  Greene„

Southern  Slavery  and  its  Relations  to  Northern  In- 
dustry: A  Lecture  delivered  at  the  Catholic  Institute  in 
Cincinnati,  January  24,  1862.  By  Henry  Reed.  Cincin- 
nati:   Enquirer  Steam  Presses.     1862. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  36. 

A  temperate  and  philosophic  justification  of  slavery  as  a 
humane  and  necessary  institution  to  the  prosperity  of  the  North 
and  South.  The  author,  without  bitterness,  but  with  great  earn- 
estness, argues  that  the  North  has  too  much  interest  in  the  pros- 
perity of  the  South  to  consent  to  the  abolition  of  Slavery.  His 
arguments  throughout  are  purely  commercial,  and  he  takes  no 
note  of  the  moral  side  of  the  slave  question.  This  lecture  is  il- 
lustrative of  a  pronounced  sentiment  favorable  to  slavery  in 
the  North  before  and  during  the  War.  This  was  especially  true 
in  Cincinnati  and  the  southern  parts  of  Ohio,  Indiana  and  Il- 
linois.

Peace  and  Trade  between  the  two  Sections.    Cincinnati: 
(The  Daily  Press  Office.)     1861. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  15. 

Originally  appearing  from  January  28  to  February  5,  1861, 
in  the  Cincinnati  Daily  Press,  a  series  of  five  remarkable  articles 
are  here  reproduced  in  pamphlet  form  "at  the  request  of  some 
of  our  most  substantial  business  men."  The  writer  believed  in 
the  traffic  in  African  slaves,  arguing  from  a  commercial  stand- 
point. He  held  that  the  South  could  not  be  forced  to  remain  in 
the  Union  and  advocated  letting  the  seceding  States  form  an  in- 
dependent government  peaceably.  Such  a  course,  he  believed 
would  inure  to  the  prosperity  of  both  republics.  He  declared 
that  "the  opening  of  the  South  to  the  importation  of  laborers 
from  teeming  Africa  will  give  the  same  impetus  to  Southern 
prosperity  that  the  North  derives  from  the  emigration  of  free 
laborers  from  Europe."

Reed  (Sam  Rockwell) 

The   Vicksburg   Campaign,   and    the   Battles   about 
Chattanooga  under  the  Command  of  General  U.  S.  Grant, 
in  1862-63;  an  Historical  Review  by  Sam.  Rockwell  Reed. 
Cincinnati:    Robert  Clarke  &  Co.     1882. 
Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  201. 

This  is  a  severe  criticism  of  General  Grant's  campaigns  and 
plans  as  carried  out  at  Vicksburg  and  Chattanooga.  It  is  cyn- 
ical and  very  hostile.  Written  in  a  newspaper  office  twenty  years 
after  those  battles,  the  writer  aspires  to  tell  how  they  should 
have  been  fought  and  how  many  mistakes  were  made  by  the  great 
general  who  snatched  victory  from  his  enemies.  General  Sher- 
man is  also  bitterly  criticised  in  these  pages.  The  author  di- 
vides honors  with  Donn  Piatt,  General  Boynton,  and  Col.  T. 
Worthington  in  the  use  of  scathing  and  sneering  English  when 
writing  of  Grant  and  Sherman.  The  work  shows  a  close  study 
of  the  military  records  but  it  is  a  "vain  thing".  Grant  captured 
Vicksburg  and  Sherman  won  battles  even  though  not  by  the 
plans  of  the  writer.  Mr.  Reed  was  a  brilliant  editorial  writer 
on  the  Cincinnati  Gazette,  and  his  criticisms  attracted  a  wide, 
but  temporary  notice,  at  the  time  of  publication.

Frontispiece  of  General  Grant.  Vol.  II,  pp.  949,  with  12  Full  Page 
Illustrations. 

Aside  from  the  official  publications  of  the  state  this  is  the 
most  comprehensive  literary  work  on  Ohio's  part  in  the  w^ar 
for  the  Union.  It  is  the  first  and  last  great  contribution  to 
the  State's  history  of  that  period.  The  author  labored  two  years 
on  his  work,  drawing  upon  all  sources  of  information  —  official 
and  personal.  The  first  volume  relates  to  conditions  of  the 
State  at  the  outbreak  of  the  war,  the  various  administrations  of 
the  war  Governors,  the  political  occurrences,  the  Morgan  Raid, 
the  military  legislation,  in  fact,  to  every  phase  of  life  in  connec- 
tion with  the  activities  of  that  time  in  Ohio.  It  also  includes 
the  biographies  of  Ohio  generals  and  men  prominent  in  the  public 
service  during  the  war.  The  second  volume  contains  the  history 
and  roster  of  every  military  organization,  infantry,  cavalry,  and 
artillery.  A  fine  index  completes  the  work.  It  will  always  be 
a  rich  store-house  from  which  historians  will  gather  materials 
for  future  literary  works  on  the  war  and  Ohio's  part  therein. 

A  republication  of  "Ohio  in  the  War"  from  the  original 
plates  was  issued  in  1893  by  the  Eclectic  Publishing  Company 
of  Columbus,  Ohio.  The  plates  of  this  were  destroyed  by  fire 
some  years  ago  and  it  is  now  out  of  print. 

The  author,  Whitelaw  Reid,  was  born  at  Xenia,  Ohio,  Octo- 
ber 27,  1837.  He  graduated  from  Miami  University,  Oxford, 
Ohio,  in  1856.  During  the  war,  1861-2,  he  was  correspondent 
of  the  Cincinnati  Gazette,  and  afterwards  served  on  the  staff  of 
General  Rosecrans  in  West  Virginia.  Became  connected  with 
the  New  York  Tribune  in  1868,  serving  as  editor-in-chief,  man- 
aging editor  and  finally  became  proprietor  in    1872.     Entered

Republican  nominee  for  Vice  President  in  1892 ;  appointed  spe- 
cial ambassador  to  Queen's  Jubilee  in  1897.  In  1898  he  was  a 
member  of  the  Peace  Commission  to  Paris  for  Spanish-American 
War  and  in  1902  went  to  Enofland  as  Special  Ambassador  to 
the  Coronation  of  Kins'  Edward.  He  has  been  Ambassador  to 
England  since  1905.  His  career  has  been  distinguished  in  both 
the  public  service  and  the  world  of  letters.  He  has  written  many 
essays  on  various  subjects  and  many  published  addresses.

Mr.  Reid  spent  almost  a  year  immediately  following  the  Re- 
bellion touring  the  Southern  States.  What  he  observed  is  de- 
tailed in  this  book.  He  sought  to  show  the  condition  in  which 
the  war  left  the  South ;  the  feelings  of  the  whites ;  the  situation 
and  capabilities  of  the  liberated  slaves,  and  the  openings  for  capi- 
tal and  industry.  Part  of  the  volume  describes  the  Southern 
journey  of  Chief  Justice  Chase,  Mr.  Reid  being  of  his  party. 
In  an  appendix  is  published  Mr.  Chase's  speech  to  the  negroes 
of  Charleston,  S.  C..  relative  to  their  rights  and  duties  as  citi- 
zens. Also  a  letter  addressed  by  him  to  a  committee  of  colored 
men  at  New  Orleans.

Report  of  Select  Committee  on  Military  Arrests.  Colum- 
bus:   Richard  Nevins,  State  Printer.     1863. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  108. 

This  report  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  and  important 
state  publications  of  the  war.  It  was  made  by  a  special  com- 
mittee of  the  ]-louse  of  Representatives  and  covers  the  facts  in 
the  military  arrests  in  Ohio  in  1862.  The  Committee  consisted 
of  the  following  members :  William  H.  West,  P.  Odlin,  Thad- 
deus  A.  Reamy,  and  John  Bartram.  The  report  considers  in 
detail  the  cause  and  method  of  the  arrests,  and  in  all  the  cases 
they  report  that  they  were  necessary  to  the  safety  of  the  govern- 
ment, and  that  the  offending  parties  were  giving  aid  and  com- 
fort to  the  enemy  in  the  field.  The  committee  answering  the 
cry  of  "wholesale  arrests"  say :  "But  eleven  citizens  of  the  two 
and  a  half  millions  have  been  restrained  of  their  liberty,  and 
that  for  a  short  time".  The  greater  part  of  the  volume  is  com- 
posed of  the  testimony  taken  by  the  Committee.  The  testimony 
shows  that  since  the  adjournment  of  the  last  session  of  the 
Legislature  the  following  persons  were  arrested  by  military  au- 
thority, viz :  Edson  B.  Olds,  of  Fairfield  County ;  Peter  N. 
Reitzel  and  Archibald  McGregor  of  Stark  County ;  Judge  L. 
W.  Hall  and  Daniel  Tuttle  of  Crawford  County ;  John  W.  Kees 
of  Pickaway  County;  Daniel  M.  Allen  of  Columbiana  County; 
Samuel  Flowers  and  Bethuel  Roberts  of  Champaign  County; 
Warren  Stanton  of  Ashtabula  County,  and  Alexander  Wallace 
of  Brown  County.

Senators  and  request  our  Representatives  in  Congress  to  vote  for 
a  proposition  for  an  armistice  with  those  in  rebellion  in  the  South- 
em  States,  preparatory  to  a  general  armistice,  for  political  of- 
fenses." The  committee  reviews  the  condition  of  national  af- 
fairs in  its  report  at  length,  and  takes  the  position  that  at  this 
time  there  is  no  demand  by  the  Confederacy  for  an  armistice,  and 
that  nothing  looking  to  a  dissolution  of  the  Union  can  be  enter- 
tained. They  conclude,  "That  we  will  have  no  dissolution  of 
the  Union ;  that  we  will  have  no  armistice ;  that  we  can  fight  as 
long  as  rebels  and  traitors  can,  and  we  will  never  despair  of  the 
Republic."

Cover  title,  "House  Journal."  This  committee  was  ap- 
pointed to  investigate  certain  charges  against  the  officers  in  com- 
mand of  the  prison  at  Camp  Chase  during  the  summer  and  fall 
of  1862.  A  great  deal  of  testimony  was  taken  by  the  commit- 
tee, which  is  all  set  out  in  this  report.  It  also  includes  numerous 
extracts  from  letters  written  by  prisoners  to  their  friends  and 
relatives  in  the  South  testifying  to  their  humane  treatment  by 
the  authorities.  From  their  examination  the  committee  found 
that  the  charges  of  bribery  and  corruption,  and  of  cruel  and  in- 
human treatment  by  the  officers  in  command  of  the  Military 
Prisons  at  Camp  Chase  were  "utterly  groundless  and  false." 
They  also  found  that  the  officers  treated  the  prisoners  in  their 
custody  "with  all  the  kindness  and  humanity  consistent  with  the 
prison  discipline  and  police  which  was  essential  to  their  safe 
custody,  and  the  rules  and  regulations  prescribed  by  the  General 
Government  for  the  government  of  the  prison."

H.  Morgan,  and  a  number  of  his  fellow  prisoners  from  the  Ohio 
Penitentiary,  and  to  fix  the  responsibility  therefor  if  possible. 
After  taking  testimony  and  a  full  search  and  investigation  the 
committee  reported  that  in  view  of  all  their  knowledge  they  were 
of  the  opinion  that  State  authorities  were  in  no  way  responsible 
for  the  escapes.  This  finding  is  in  agreement  with  the  reports  of 
the  commission  appointed  by  Governor  Brough  to  investigate  the 
same  subject.     See  "Brough,  John."

Western  Conspiracy  in  aid  of  the  Southern  Rebellion. 
Washington,  D.  C. :    Daily  Chronicle  Print.    1864. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  i6. 

Under  the  instruction  of  the  Secretary  of  War,  Joseph  Holt, 
Judge  Advocate  General,  made  an  investigation  in  regard  to  the 
Secret  Associations  and  Conspiracies  against  the  Government. 
On  October  8,  1864,  this  report  was  filed;  it  is  based  on  testi- 
mony furnished  from  different  sources.  It  forms  one  of  the 
most  important  documents  of  the  war,  and  has  a  decided  con- 
nection with  military  and  political  affairs  in  Ohio  during  the 
years  1863  and  1864.  In  this  report  the  Judge  Advocate  Gen- 
eral exposes  the  origin,  extent,  organization,  history,  purposes, 
ritual,  members  and  operation  of  the  various  secret  political 
bodies  existing  in  the  North,  but  sympathizing  with  the  South- 
ern Confederacy.  They  were  located  in  nearly  every  Northern 
state,  but  were  most  numerous  in  Ohio,  Indiana,  Illinois,  Mis- 
souri and  Kentucky.  It  is  declared  that  the  scene  of  operations 
in  Ohio  was  in  Cincinnati,  Dayton  and  Hamilton,  and  that  C.  L. 
V^allandigham  was  the  founder  of  the  order.  The  force  of  the 
order  in  Ohio  is  stated  at  from  80,000  to  108,000. 

The  report  declares  that  the  purposes  of  the  "Order  of 
American  Knights,"  or  "Sons  of  Liberty,"  were:  To  aid  de- 
sertions from  the  Union  Armies;  to  circulate  disloyal  publica- 
tions ;  to  give  intelligence  to  the  enemy ;  to  aid  recruiting  for 
the  Confederates  within  the  Union  lines ;  to  furnish  the  enemy 
with  arms  and  supplies ;  to  co-operate  in  Confederate  raids  and 
invasions ;  to  destroy  Government  property ;  to  persecute  and 
impoverish  Union  men ;  to  assassinate  those  of  special  influence 
or  in  high  authority;  and  to  set  up  a  Northwestern  Confederacy. 

"While  the  capacity  of  this  order  for  fatal  mischief,"  said 
Judge  Holt,  "has,  by  means  of  the  arrest  of  its  leaders,  the 


330  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

seizure  of  its  arms,  and  the  other  vigorous  means  which  have 
been  pursued,  been  seriously  impaired,  it  is  still  busy  with  its 
secret  plottings  against  the  Government,  and  with  its  perfidious 
designs  in  aid  of  the  Southern  rebellion.  It  is  reported  to  have 
recently  issued  new  signs  and  passwords,  and  its  members  assert 
that  foul  means  will  be  used  to  prevent  the  success  of  the  Ad- 
ministration at  the  coming  election,  and  threaten  an  extended 
revolt  in  the  event  of  the  re-election  of  President  Lincoln." 

This  report  contains  much  that  is  important  and  valuable, 
and  a  knowledge  of  it  is  necessary  to  a  proper  conception  of 
the  political  condition  of  Ohio  and  the  North  at  this  period.

Report  of  the  Commissioners  of  Morgan  Raid  Claims 
to  the  Governor  of  the  State  of  Ohio,  December  15th, 
1864.  Columbus:  Richard  Nevins,  State  Printer. 
1865. 

Boards.    8  vo.  pp.  453. 

This  report  made  to  Governor  John  Brough,  is  one  of  the 
most  important  official  publications  relating  to  the  war.  It  is 
also  one  of  the  scarcest,  copies  of  it  being  difficult  of  access 
outside  of  a  few  public  libraries.  The  commission  was  appointed 
to  examine  claims  for  damages  and  destruction  of  property 
growing  out  of  the  raid  of  the  Confederate  General,  John  Mor- 
gan, through  Ohio  in  the  summer  of  1863.  This  commission 
was  composed  of  Alfred  McVeigh  of  Fairfield  County,  George 
W.  Barker  of  Washington  County,  and  Henry  S.  Babbit  of 
Franklin  County.  Speaking  of  its  work,  the  report  says:  "The 
Commission  plodded  on  steadily  to  the  completion  of  its  weary 
work,  from  the  confines  of  the  State  when  the  arch  raider  first 
visited  our  people  with  his  fellow  thieves,  following  the  main 
track  of  the  marauders  until  the  middle  of  September,  the  final 
session  being  held  at  Salineville,  Columbiana  County,  near  the 
scene  of  Morgan's  surrender."  The  report  shows  that  4.375 
claims  of  all  kinds,  for  damage  were  filed  before  the  commission, 
and  the  total  amount  allowed  was  $576,255  for  damages  growing 
out  of  the  raid.  Of  this  amount  $428,168  was  damages  done  by 
Morgan  and  his  men  and  $148,087  was  damages  by  Union  forces 
in  the  campaign  for  Morgan's  capture.

An  annual  report  for  the  year  ending  December  i,  1865, 
showing  work  performed  in  the  interest  of  the  Ohio  soldier  in 
the  field.  The  Agency  performed  all  sorts  of  service  from  col- 
lecting pay  for  individual  soldiers  amounting  to  $965,826.20  to 
forwarding  428  packages  to  Ohio  soldiers  in  rebel  prisons.  It 
visited  the  sick,  aided  the  destitute,  distributed  supplies,  fur- 
nished information  to  inquirers,  and  secured  pensions  to  the  in- 
valid soldier.

This  report  is  found  in  Part  I,  Executive  Documents  for

appointed  to  examine  into  various  military  claims  against  the 
State,  usually  for  pay  and  subsistence.  The  report  contains  the 
names  of  the  claimants,  the  purpose  and  the  amount  allowed  or 
rejected.  Five  hundred  and  forty-one  claims  were  allowed 
aggregating  $68,225.19;  the  amount  rejected  amounted  to  $22,- 
509.08.  The  report  is  indicative  of  the  continuous  outlay  by 
the  State  after  the  war  was  over.

gave  his  experiences  as  a  Brigade  Commander  in  that  battle,  and 
explained  how  he  and  many  of  his  command  were  captured.

Printing  Office.    1900. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  10. 

An  interesting  congressional  report  concerning  this  regi- 
ment. From  this  it  appears  that  the  First  Ohio  Volunteer  Ar- 
tillery was  the  first  artillery  regiment  to  engage  in  the  service 
of  the  United  States  in  the  Civil  War.  They  were  hastened  to 
the  front  on  the  21st  of  April,  1861,  and  rendered  valuable  ser- 
vice in  the  campaign  of  West  Virginia.  By  an  omission,  due  to 
the  haste  with  which  they  were  sent  to  the  front,  they  were 
never  formally  mustered  into  the  service  by  any  military  officer 
of  the  United  States.  On  or  about  the  30th  of  May,  1861,  while 
the  command  was  being  embarked  at  Marietta,  Ohio,  a 
United  States  officer  reported  to  muster  them  into  the  service, 
but  the  commanding  officer,  General  Barnett,  stated  to  him  that 
as  his  orders  were  imperative  to  move  witli  the  least  possible 
delay,  he  could  not  wait  the  formality  of  a  muster.  They  served 
until  the  27th  day  of  July,  1861.  It  was  proposed  by  legislation 
to  recognize  their  military  service  and  this  report  recommends 
the  passage  of  a  bill  for  that  purpose.  The  report  contains  the 
affidavit  of  General  James  Barnett,  a  memorandum  of  Col. 
Henry  B.  Carrington,  who  was  Adjutant-General  of  Ohio  at  the 
time,  and  the  muster  rolls  of  the  regiment.

This  institution,  for  the  use  of  Union  Soldiers  and  Sailors 
of  Ohio,  was  created  under  an  act  of  the  General  Assembly 
passed  April  30,  1886,  and  entitled,  "An  act  to  provide  for  the 
establishment  and  maintenance  of  a  home  for  disabled  and  in- 
digent ex-soldiers  of  Ohio".     The  first  three  reports,  i886-i[

were  special  reports;  the  first  regular  report  of  the  institution 
was  made  in  1889.  These  reports  contain  valuable  information 
concerning  the  surviving  soldiers  in  Ohio  furnishing  many 
health,  sociological  and  statistical  facts.

On  April  14,  1870,  was  passed  "An  act  to  establish  The 
Ohio  Soldiers'  and  Sailors'  Orphans'  Home".  These  reports 
are  a  full  and  interesting  history  of  the  operations  and  main- 
tainance  of  this  institution.  To  obtain  an  idea  of  what  Ohio 
has  done  for  the  children  of  her  Union  soldiers  and  sailors,  one 
can  find  abundant  evidence  here.  The  information  is  essential 
in  studying  the  social  effects  of  the  Civil  War  in  Ohio.  The 
training  and  education  secured  in  the  Home  has  brought  abun- 
dant results.  Many  men  now  successful  in  private  and  public 
life  in  Ohio  graduated  from  this  institution.

REUNION  339 

Battery  A,  under  Captain  C.  S.  Cotter,  was  mustered  into 
service  September  6,  1861,  at  Camp  Chase.  It  left  immediately 
for  Louisville,  Kentucky,  receiving  its  equipments  en  route  at 
Cincinnati,  and  was  the  first  battery  to  report  there.  In  the 
main  it  was  a  Portage  County  organization.  It  had  a  very  active 
and  honorable  career,  especially  distinguishing  itself  under  Major 
W.  F.  Goodspeed,  at  the  battle  of  Chickamauga.  Its  original 
term  of  service  expired  in  January,  1864,  but  many  of  its  officers 
and  men  re-enlisted  as  veterans  at  Cincinnati  in  February,  1864, 
participating  as  a  battery  in  all  of  the  Atlanta  campaign.  Dur- 
ing the  War  this  battery  marched  over  4,500  miles,  and  was 
transported  1,500  miles  additional  by  the  Government.  It  was 
in  thirty-six  skirmishes  and  nine  great  engagements.  Altogether 
its  membership  included  48  officers  and  236  men.  Because  of 
their  ability,  six  of  its  officers  were  transferred  to  other  com- 
mands ;  three  others  resigned,  two  died,  three  were  discharged 
for  disability,  ten  were  mustered  out  before,  and  twenty-four 
with,  the  battery.  Of  the  enlisted  men  45  were  killed,  or  died 
of  wounds  or  disease,  34  were  discharged  for  disability,  5  were 
transferred,  5  were  missing,  34  were  discharged  at  the  expira- 
tion of  enlistment,  and  113  mustered  out  with  the  battery  July  31, 
1865.  At  that  time  more  than  100  of  the  survivors  were  resi- 
dents of  Portage  County,  while  the  post  office  addresses  of  more 
than  60  others  were  in  bordering  counties.  The  association  of 
Battery  A  was  organized  in  1866,  as  a  social  rather  than  a  his- 
torical society,  and  has  continued  ever  since.

10,  11,  12,  1892,  at  Camp  West  Twin  Lake,  near  Earlville,

The  camp  at  which  this  reunion  was  held  annually  for  so 
many  years  was  a  pleasure  resort  of  some  note  in  Northeast 
Ohio.  It  was  convenient  for  many  members  of  the  Association 
who  annually  spent  there  more  than  the  three  days  of  the  "re- 
union." Of  the  Association  30  veterans  and  13  sons  of  veterans 
were  at  the  Twenty-Sixth  reunion,  while  the  names  and  post- 
office  addresses  of  the  absent  members — 143  veterans  and  12 
sons  of  veterans,  are  given.  A  feature  of  these  reports  is  the 
endeavor  of  the  Association's  officers  to  keep  track  of  all  former 
members  of  the  battery.

The  records  of  regimental  reunions  have  not  generally  been 
preserved  in  printed  form,  and,  even  then,  they  are  too  often 
scattered  and  lost  sight  of.  They  form  an  interesting  and  val- 
uable portion  of  civil  war  history,  largely  local  but  of  sufficient 
general  importance  to  be  worthy  of  preservation.  The  addresses 
of  the  survivors,  yearly  becoming  fewer,  are  pathetic  evidence 
that  the  men  of  1861  are  rapidly  passing  away. 

The  proceedings  of  the  First  reunion  set  forth  in  this 
pamphlet  were  held  just  twenty  years  after  the  organization  of 
the  regiment.  It  also  contains  a  synopsis  of  the  history  of  the

Companion  Owen  Rice,  Late  Captain  Co.  A,  Acting  Major

Co.    1885. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  38. 

Among  the  numerous  controverted  historical  incidents  of  the 
Civil  War  is  the  conduct  of  the  Eleventh  Army  Corps  at  the 
battle  of  Chancellorsville.  The  writer  says :  "The  popular  be- 
lief in  regard  to  this,  based  on  extrinsic  considerations,  dissem- 
bling reports,  and  the  unreasoning  selfishness  of  contemporary 
hyper-criticism  is,  that  this  organization,  almost  wholly  German 
in  nationality,  composed  largely  of  'petits  chevaliers,'  whose 
ardor  fluctuated  with  the  tickings  of  some  foreign  stock-ex- 
change, had  now  become  demoralized  and  contumacious,  be- 
cause of  the  removal  of  Sigel  from  command,  with  its  covert 
indignities ;  that  it  was  posted  as  skillfully  and  advantageously 
as  any  other  division  of  the  Army,  and  yet,  with  arrant  pol- 
troonery, gave  way  en  masse,  and  thus,  without  justifiable  cause, 
imperiled  the  safety  of  the  Army  and  of  the  Nation's  cause  at  a 
most  critical  juncture  of  the  War." 

Captain  Rice  gives  in  this  paper  a  vivid  description  of  the 
scene  and  enters  a  vigorous  defense  of  the  Eleventh  Army  Corps. 
He  charges  the  disastrous  position  of  that  organization  to  the 
weakness  and  mistakes  of  Major  General  Howard.  This  paper

1817.  Was  in  the  Ohio  Legislature  1848-49.  He  was  a  rad- 
ical anti-slavery  leader  in  his  locality.  In  1856  elected  prosecut- 
ing attorney  of  Cuyahoga  county ;  defended  the  Oberlin-Wel- 
lington  slave  rescue  in  1859.  He  was  elected  to  Congress  in

and  in  1864  aided  in  behalf  of  the  Government  in  the  prosecu- 
tion of  John  H.  Surratt  for  the  murder  of  President  Lincoln. 
Has  done  considerable  literary  work  and  brings  to  his  service  a 
good  style  and  years  of  observation  of  men  and  events.

The  bill  "to  confiscate  the  property  and  free  the  slaves  of 
rebels"  being  under  consideration,  Mr.  Riddle  in  this  speech 
earnestly  advocates  its  passage.  He  discusses  at  length  slavery 
and  the  power  of  the  government  to  punish  treason.

Really  a  general  review  of  the  condition  of  politics  in  the

This  is  an  interesting  biography,  written  by  a  personal  and 
political  friend,  of  one  of  the  greatest  and  most  powerful  of

f 

Ohio's  United  States  Senators.  During  the  war  Senator  Wade 
was  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  the  Conduct  of  the  War, 
undoubtedly  one  of  the  most  potent  factors  in  mihtary  affairs 
at  Washington. 

This  work  is  valuable  for  its  contribution  to  the  history  of 
the  perilous  part  Senator  Wade  took  in  the  ante-war  period, 
and  for  a  full  study  of  his  attitude  during  the  war,  in  the  im- 
peachment of  President  Johnson  and  in  the  re-construction 
period.

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  XII  and  380. 

A  work  of  great  interest.  It  gives  a  vivid  picture  of  the 
inside  of  national  legislation  during  the  rebellion.  Covers  also 
politics  in  Ohio  before  and  during  the  war.  Notwithstanding 
it  is  largely  a  personal  memoir,  it  is  one  of  the  best  histories 
of  the  period  of  which  it  treats.  It  has  special  reference  to  Ohio 
in  the  Civil  War.

From  the  Wilderness  to  Spottsylvania.  A  paper  read 
before  the  Ohio  Commandery  of  the  Military  Order  of  the 
Loyal  Legion  of  the  United  States,  by  Companion  Robert 
Stoddart  Robertson,  late  First  Lieutenant  Ninety-Third 
New  York  Volunteer  Infantry,  Brevet  Captain  U.  S.  Vol- 
unteers, Brevet  Colonel  N.  Y.  Volunteers,  December  3, 
1884.    Cincinnati :    Henry  C.  Sherick.    1884. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  35. 

The  writer  was  a  staff  officer  to  General  Nelson  A.  Miles 
in  the  campaign  of  the  Wilderness  and  the  bloody  days  which 
followed.  After  the  battle  of  Mine  Run,  which  was  fought  in 
the  last  of  November,  the  winter  of  1863-4  was  spent  by  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac  north  of  the  Rapidan  River.     In  this 


ROBINSON    (GEORGE  F.)  3^ 

paper  is  given  a  very  interesting  description  of  how  the  officers 
of  that  great  army  passed  their  time.  Lectures,  balls,  games, 
and  harmless  revelry  were  the  order  of  the  day  and  night  until 
marching  commenced  through  the  Wilderness  to  Spottsylvania. 
The  battle  of  the  Wilderness  is  described  with  dramatic  detail, 
and  the  writer  as  an  aid  was  in  position  to  see  much  of  the 
severest  fighting  and  the  movements  of  the  troops.  Spottsyl- 
vania followed  the  Wilderness  and  the  Union  loss  was  26,000 
men.  From  the  Wilderness  to  Spottsylvania,  seven  days  in  time, 
84,598  men  on  both  sides  had  fallen.  The  writer  of  this  mono- 
graph has  preserved  a  most  vivid  recollection  of  the  terrible  and 
bloody  campaign  which  was  the  occasion  of  Grant's  historic 
dispatch  ending,  "I  propose  to  fight  it  out  on  this  line  if  it 
takes  all  summer."  This  paper  is  published  in  "Sketches  of  War 
History."    Volume  I.

Chew.    1895. 

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  109. 

In  the  spring  of  1864,  the  law  of  Ohio  required  the  Asses- 
sors of  the  different  townships  in  the  State  to  enroll  all  enlisted 
and  commissioned  men  in  the  War  for  the  Union.  That  work 
is  the  basis  of  the  information  found  in  this  volume.  To  con- 
firm and  improve  this  the  compiler  has  devoted  much  time  to 
personal  investigation  in  order  to  make  the  roster  accurate.

Speech  of  Hon.  Andrew  J.  Rogers  of  N.  J.,  delivered

Words  Spoken  in  Debate,  "Give  me  Liberty  or  Give  me 
Death."  —  Patrick  Henry.    Washington,  D.  C. :  n.  p.  1864. 

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  15. 

The  House  having  under  consideration  the  resolution  to 
expel  Mr.  Long,  this  speech  was  made  in  opposition  to  it.  Mr. 
Rogers  opposed  it  on  the  ground  that  it  interfered  with  free

speech  and  he  disclaims  any  sympathy  with  Mr.  Long's  senti- 
ment as  to  secession  and  the  war.  The  speech  is  an  able  and 
conservative  statement  of  his  position.  See  "Long,  Alexander,"

regarding  the  Copperheads.  Philadelphia.  Printed  for 
the  Union  League.    1863. 

Pamphlet.    i6  mo.  pp.  8. 

This  pamphlet  was  circulated  very  extensively  in  the  North 
during  the  political  campaigns  of  1863.  It  was  aimed  at  the 
rapidly  rising  "peace-at-any-price"  sentiment,  and  expressed  the 
views  of  the  Democratic  soldiers  in  the  field  against  the  actions 
of  their  party  at  home,  especially  in  Ohio  and  Indiana.  General 
Rosecrans  in  two  letters,  one  to  the  General  Assembly  of  Ohio, 
and  the  other  to  the  Mayor  and  Common  Council  of  Cincinnati 
denounced  in  very  hostile  language  the  tendency  manifested  in 
some  quarters  in  the  North.  The  Democratic  commanding  offi- 
cers of  Indiana  also  addressed  to  the  Democracy  of  Indiana  a 
letter  regarding  the  sentiments  of  their  party  in  that  state  which 
is  also  published  herein.  The  Ohio  regiments  at  Murfreesboro, 
Tennessee,  also  took  similar  action.

This  report  contains  the  official  history  of  a  battle  in  which 
many  Ohio  regiments  were  engaged.  The  reports  of  the  com- 
manding officers  are  given  in  detail  and  the  movements,  position 
and  casualties  form  a  valuable  and  interesting  record  of  the

This  is  evidently  a  reprint  from  the  official  records.  It  in- 
cludes the  story  of  the  operations  of  the  Army  of  the  Cumber- 
land, the  occupations  of  middle  Tennessee  and  passage  over  the 
Cumberland  Mountains,  and  the  battle  of  Chickamauga.  In  this 
reprint  General  Rosecrans  states  that  he  is  "especially  indebted 
to  Brigadier  General  James  A.  Garfield,  chief  of  staff,  for  the 
ready  manner  in  which  he  seized  the  points  of  action  and  ex- 
pressed in  orders  the  ideas  of  the  General  commanding."

1866. ) 

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  5. 

General  Rosecrans  in  this  letter  addressed  to  Mr.  Greeley 
complained  that  great  injustice  had  been  done  him  by  the  press 
of  the  Eastern  States,  especially  by  the  New  York  Tribune. 
With  the  communication,  which  is  both  temperate  and  logical, 
he  said  he  was  sending,  "as  requested,"  a  copy  of  the  sixth  edi- 
tion of  the  "Annals  of  the  Army  of  the  Cumberland"  containing 
his  official  report  of  the  campaign  and  battle  of  Chickamauga 
"which  gave  us  East  Tennessee  and  the  gateway  to  the  heart  of 
the  Southern  Confederacy."  He  then  proceeds  to  an  analysis 
of  what  was  done  in  what  Secretary  Stanton  had  "presumed  to 
call  'the  disastrous  battle  of  Chickamauga,'  "  and  makes  com- 
parisons with  other  battles.  He  also  refers  Mr.  Greeley  to  his 
testimony  before  the  Congressional  Committee  on  the  Conduct 
of  the  War.

This  volume  contains  a  full  account  of  the  preparations  for, 
and  the  ceremonies  attending  the  burial  of  the  Society's  Com- 
mander, General  Rosecrans.  It  also  contains  the  addresses  on

Grosvenor,  Senator  J.  B.  Foraker,  Speaker  D.  B.  Henderson, 
Representatives  Gardiner  and  Hepburn,  all  of  whom  except  the 
President,  served  under  General  Rosecrans.  An  interesting  con- 
tribution to  war  history  is  the  article  "The  Relief  of  Rosecrans", 
evidently  written  by  General  H.  V.  Boynton.  It  is  an  answer  to 
the  criticisms  of  General  J.  D.  Cox  in  his  "Reminiscences  of

A  brief  but  interesting  history  of  the  trials  and  experiences 
of  the  Union  people  of  Eastern  Tennessee.  At  the  time  just 
preceding  the  Rebellion,  the  Governor  of  this  state  was  an 
avowed  secessionist.  He  sent  a  message  to  the  legislature,  urg- 
ing that  body  to  provide  for  holding  a  convention  for  the  pur- 
pose of  passing  an  ordinance  of  secession,  which  was  done.  The 
legislature  provided  that  while  electing  delegates  the  voters  might 
at  the  same  time  say  whether  or  not  the  convention  should  be 
held.  As  a  result,  the  proposition  to  hold  a  convention  was 
voted  down  by  an  overwhelming  majority.  In  the  counties  of 
eastern  Tennessee,  in  an  aggregate  vote  of  forty-three  thousand, 
the  majority  was  more  than  twenty-three  thousand.  This  was 
in  February,  1861.  But  this  did  not  satisfy  the  leaders  of  the 
secession  movement.  Afterward  the  legislature,  in  extra  session, 
ordered  an  election  to  again  vote  on  the  proposition,  and  on  the 
8th  of  June,  over-awed  by  the  miHtary  force  of  the  Southern 
Confederacy,  the  State  was  declared  out  of  the  Union.  The 
people  of  East  Tennessee,  still  true  to  the  Union  gave  a  majority 
of  twenty  thousand  against  secession.  From  that  time  until 
the  close  of  the  war  the  loyalists  of  Tennessee  were  conducting 
the  Civil  War  within  their  own  territory  and  in  this  paper  the 
author  has  given  the  thrilling  events  of  that  period  with  great 
force  and  earnestness.  Also  published  in  "Sketches  of  War 
History"  Volume  IT.

inal   members    (except   veterans)    were   mustered   out  July.   13, 
1864,  by  reason  of  expiration  of  service. 

At  the  annual  reunion  of  the  regiment  held  at  Norwalk  on 
the  17th  day  of  September,  1868,  the  members  of  the  regiment 
requested  the  author  to  prepare  this  history.  It  was  not  pub- 
lished until  thirteen  years  after.  The  writer  of  this  regimental 
history  entered  the  Eighth  Ohio  Infantry  as  Captain,  in  1861,  and 
was  promoted  to  Major  July  8,  1861 ;  to  Lieutenant-Colonel, 
November  25,  1861,  and  brevetted  Brigadier  General  March  13,

hundred  and  sixty  miles,  and  was  transported  by  rail  and  steam- 
ship two  thousand  three  hundred  and  eighty  miles,  making  an 
aggregate  of  four  thousand  six  hundred  and  forty  miles  trav- 
eled during  its  term  of  service.  The  records  of  the  War  Depart- 
ment show  that  it  was  engaged  in  the  following  battles :  Rom- 
ney,  \V.  Va.,  September  23,  1861 ;  Second  Battle  of  Romney, 
W.  Va.,  October  26,  1861 ;  Winchester,  Va.,  March  23,  1862;

and  Mr.  Stanton  for  what  he  holds  is  an  unwarranted  violation 
of  that  right.  As  a  legal  argument  it  is  forceful  and  well  writ-

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  32. 

A  civil  and  military  biography  of  General  Schenck  issued 
in  his  campaign  for  Congress  against  C.  L.  Vallandigham  and  in 
which  he  was  elected  to  the  Thirty-Eighth  Congress.  This  sketch 
recites  his  career  in  the  Ohio  Legislature,  in  Congress,  as  Foreign 
Minister  abroad  and  as  a  soldier  in  the  Civil  War. 

Robert  C.  Schenck  was  born  at  Franklin,  Ohio,  October  4, 
1809.  He  read  law  under  Hon.  Thomas  Corwin,  at  Lebanon, 
Ohio,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1831.  He  served  in  Con- 
gress from  1843  to  1851,  when  he  was  appointed  Minister  to 
Brazil.  At  the  opening  of  the  Civil  \\'ar,  he  entered  the  army 
and  was  wounded  severely  at  the  second  battle  of  Bull  Run.  He 
attained  the   rank  of  Brigadier  General,  when   he   resigned   his 


SCHENCK    (ROBERT  C.)  375 

commission  to  accept  a  seat  in  Congress  to  which  he  was  elected 
in  1862,  over  C.  L.  Vallandigham.  In  1870,  he  was  appointed 
Minister  to  England  which  office  he  filled  with  distinction  and 
ability,  until  1876.  He  died  March  23,  1890.  In  his  career  as 
lawyer,  legislator,  soldier  and  diplomat,  he  developed  a  high  or- 
der of  character  and  power.

Delivered  in  the  House  of  Representatives,  April  11,  1864. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  8. 

This  speech  was  upon  the  resolution  declaring  Alexander 
Long,  a  Democratic  member  of  Congress  from  Cincinnati,  un- 
worthy of  membership  in  the  House  on  account  of  an  ultra  and 
anti-war  speech  proposing  the  recognition  of  the  Southern  Con- 
federacy. 

General  Schenck's  speech  is  an  intense  arraignment  of  Mr. 
Long  and  the  element  which  he  represented  in  the  North  charg- 
ing them  with  treason  to  the  cause  of  the  Union.

Of  the  several  lives  of  Salmon  P.  Chase,  this  is  the  best. 
It  is  at  the  same  time  a  history  of  the  momentous  period  in 
Ohio  and  the  country  during  which  Mr.  Chase  was  a 
powerful  and  attractive  figure.  His  career  as  a  Governor  and  a 
United  States  Senator  of  Ohio,  as  well  as  his  services  as  Sec- 
retary of  the  Treasury  and  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court, 


376  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

is  recorded  with  dignity,  detail,  and  accuracy.  His  great  and 
commanding  influence  during  the  Rebellion  is  given  the  fullest 
credit.  Secretary  Chase  was  one  of  Ohio's  greatest  contribu- 
tions to  the  Union  cause  in  the  Civil  War. 

The  interest  of  this  work  is  increased  by  the  publication  of 
many  letters  written  by  Mr.  Chase  to  his  numerous  political 
friends  and  supporters.

Although  not  printed  on  the  title  page,  the  subject  of  this 
paper  is  "The  Battle  of  Milliken's  Bend,  and  Some  Reflections 
Concerning  the  Colored  Troops,  and  the  Debt  We  Owe  Them 
and  How  We  Paid  It".  The  author,  who  was  present  as  Lieu- 
tenant Colonel  of  the  Forty-Ninth  U.  S.  Colored  Infantry,  eulo- 
gizes the  conduct  of  the  African  regiments  in  this  battle.  It  was 
the  first  battle  of  the  war  wherein  the  Union  troops  were  com- 
posed almost  exclusively  of  African  soldiers.  The  paper  is  large- 
ly devoted  to  a  criticism  of  the  Twenty-Eighth  Iowa  Regiment, 
and  the  Official  Records  of  the  Rebellion.  It  was  read  before 
the  Ohio  Commandery,  but,  as  stated  by  the  author  in  his  preface, 
its  publication  and  sanction  were  refused  by  that  body.

The  author  was  the  drummer  boy  of  Company  B  of  his 
regiment.  The  work  is  based  on  journals  kept  by  different  mem-

written  narrative.  The  Twenty-Ninth  Ohio  Veteran  Volunteers 
was  raised  largely  through  the  influence  of  Hon.  Joshua  R.  Gid- 
dings  and  for  that  reason  it  became  known  as  the  "Giddings 
Regiment" ;  it  was  composed  of  men  almost  entirely  from  his 
old  Congressional  district.  It  was  mustered  in  at  Camp  Gid- 
dings, JeflFerson,  Ohio,  from  August  14,  1861,  to  March  13,  1862, 
to  serve  three  years.     The  regiment's  service  is  well  recorded

Principally  a  reply  to  Mr.  Vallandigham's  speech  defending 
the  South  and  attacking  the  position  of  the  administration  of 
President  Lincoln.  Mr.  Shellabarger's  speech  reviews  the  con- 
spiracy of  rebellion  and  charges  the  South  with  deliberately 
precipitating  the  war  to  perpetuate  slavery.  The  speech  quotes 
Southern  statesmen  to  prove  this  position.  The  author  was  born 
in  Clarke  County,  Ohio,  December  lo,  1817,  was  a  member  of  the 
Ohio  Legislature  in  1852  and  1853,  a  member  of  the  Thirty-Sev- 
enth Congress  from  July  4,  1861,  to  March  4,  1863,  and  also 
served  in  the  Thirty-Ninth,  Fortieth  and  Forty-Second  Con- 
gresses. He  was  Minister  to  Portugal  under  President  Grant, 
retiring  to  private  life  he  practiced  law  in  Washington  until  his 
death.  He  was  a  lawyer  of  distinction  and  ability  and  his 
speeches  show  this.

A  strong  argument  defending  the  Republican  policy  of  re-

subjects  of  war  legislation  rank  among  the  ablest  of  this  period. 
They  had  wide  circulation  outside  of  Congress  and  presented  the 
Republican  position  more  forcibly  than  any  of  his  contemporaries 
in  the  House  of  Representatives.  They  assumed  the  form  of  a 
legal  argument  rather  than  that  of  a  political  speech.

A  soldier's  story  of  his  life,  written  in  plain  and  modest 
style.  In  his  preface  he  says:  "In  offering  this  record,  penned 
by  my  own  hand,  of  the  events  of  my  life,  and  of  my  participa- 
tion in  our  great  struggle,  for  national  existence,  human  liberty, 
and  political  equality,  I  make  no  pretension  to  literary  merit ; 
the  importance  of  the  subject  matter  of  my  narration  is  my  only 
claim  on  the  reader's  attention".  In  these  pages,  General  Sheri- 
dan narrates  but  little  of  his  early  life  in  Ohio,  and  devotes  him- 
self to  the  record  of  his  military  career  which  commenced  with 
his  entrance  to  West  Point,  July  i,  1848.  He  was  born  in  Al- 
bany, N.  Y.,  March  6,  1831.  When  a  year  old,  his  parents  re- 
moved to  Somerset,  Perry  County,  Ohio,  where  he  spent  his 
youth  and  from  whence  he  was  sent  to  the  military  academy  at 
West  Point.  He  graduated  thirty-fourth  in  a  class  of  fifty-two, 
of  which  James  B.  McPherson,  afterwards  General,  killed  before 
Atlanta,  was  the  head.  General  John  M.  Schofield,  and  the  Con- 
federate, John  B.  Hood,  were  also  his  classmates.  He  served 
in  the  army  in  the  West  and  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War 
was  appointed  captain  of  the  Thirteenth  Regular  Infantry.  In 
May,  1862,  he  became  Colonel  of  the  Second  Michigan  Cavalry, 
and  was  made  Brigadier-General  of  Volunteers  in  July  followmg. 


SHERIDAN    (PHILIP  H.)  383 

From  thenceforward,  his  record  is  inseparably  connected  with  the 
romance  and  military  genius  of  the  Rebellion.  His  career  was 
at  once  one  of  the  most  picturesque  and  most  striking  of  the 
illustrious  heroes  wlio  were  brought  prominently  into  view  by 
the  events  of  the  great  Civil  War.  He  filled  the  ranks  of  Brig- 
adier-General and  General.  General  Sheridan  died  at  Nonquitt, 
Massachusetts,  August  5,  1888.

The  Republican  Party — Its  History  and  Policy. 
Speech  of  Hon.  John  Sherman  of  Ohio,  at  the  Cooper  In-

York :    n.  p.    1860. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  8. 

This  speech  is  devoted  to  a  defense  of  the  policy  of  the 
Republican  party  on  the  question  of  the  extension  of  slavery. 
Although  delivered  before  the  outbreak  of  the  war  it  is  essential 
to  properly  understand  the  political  differences  that  caused  se- 
cession. It  can  be  taken  as  a  conservative  statement  of  the  anti- 
slavery  sentiment  of  the  Republican  party.  Mr.  Sherman  was 
not  an  abolitionist,  and  was  not  in  accord  with  his  radical  party 
associates  and  Ohioans,  Wade,  Giddings  and  Chase.  He  was 
opposed  to  the  extension  of  slavery  and  believed  it  would  die  in 
time  in  the  South.  The  destruction  of  slavery  was  reached 
through  the  war,  and  Mr.  Sherman  kept  abreast  of  the  move- 
ment. In  this  speech  he  pleads  for  freedom  in  the  Territories  of 
the  young  West  and  predicts  that  continental  railroads  will  be 
built  across  the  plains  and  the  new  land  will  be  the  garden  of  the 
Nation  if  unpolluted  with  slavery.  The  speech  is  almost  proph- 
etic in  its  farsightedness.  There  is  no  bitterness  nor  crimina- 
tion, but  it  is  nevertheless  uncompromising  and  aggressive.     It 


SHERMAN    (JOHN)  385 

ts  instructive  to  students  of  this  period  as  defining  the  attitude 
of  the  two  great  parties  on  the  eve  of  the  election  of  i860. 

John  Sherman  was  born  at  Lancaster,  Ohio,  May  10,  1823. 
He  early  entered  public  life ;  in  1848  he  was  a  delegate  to  the 
Whig  National  Convention ;  in  1855  he  presided  at  the  first  Re- 
publican State  Convention  in  Ohio  which  nominated  Salmon 
P.  Chase  for  Governor.  From  this  time  to  his  death  Mr.  Sher- 
man was  conspicuous  in  the  state  and  nation  as  a  leader  of  the 
Republican  party.  As  Congressman,  Senator,  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury  and  Secretary  of  State,  he  won  fame  in  all  stations  of 
honor.  From  i860  to  1900  there  was  scarcely  a  great  financial 
measure  with  which  the  name  of  John  Sherman  was  not  con- 
nected.    He  died  October  22,  1900.

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  8. 

Sherman  in  his  "Recollections"  refers  to  this  speech  thus : 
"The  only  political  speech  I  made  was  in  reply  to  an  ingenious 
speech  of  my  colleague  George  H.  Pendleton,  made  on  the  i8th 
day  of  January,  1861.  I  replied  on  the  same  day  without  prep- 
aration, but  with  a  lively  appreciation  of  the  dangers  before  us". 
Mr.  Pendleton's  speech  was  in  opposition  to  the  use  of  the  army 
to  preserve  the  Union.  See  "Pendleton,  George  H."  Mr.  Sher- 
man's reply  was  made  in  a  spirit  of  patriotic  fervor  but  is  very 
conservative.  It  is  devoid  of  the  radicali-sm  of  Wade,  Bingham 
and  others  who  spoke  at  the  same  time.  He  reviewed  the  situa- 
tion as  it  then  existed  and  appealed  to  the  South  to  give  Mr. 
Lincoln,  not  yet  inaugurated  —  a  fair  hearing  and  trial.

Correspondence  between  S.  Teackle  Wallis,  Esq.,  of

386  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

This  correspondence  grew  out  of  the  arrest  of  the  members 
of  the  Maryland  legislature  by  order  of  President  Lincoln  for 
the  purpose  of  preventing  a  session  to  pass  an  ordinance  of  se- 
■cession.  Mr.  Wallis  was  a  member  of  that  body  and  was  one 
of  those  arrested  and  imprisoned.  In  his  letter  to  Mr.  Sherman, 
he  calls  that  gentleman  to  account  for  his  speech  in  the  United 
States  Senate  justifying  the  President.  Mr.  Sherman  in  his  reply 
goes  into  the  details  of  the  cause  and  law  of  the  arrests  and  cites 
facts  to  show  that  the  sentiments  and  preparations  of  the  lead- 
ers of  secession  all  pointed  to  treasonable  acts.  Mr.  Wallis 
writes  a  rejoinder  denying  any  right  in  law  or  the  existence  of 
facts  to  warrant  Mr.  Lincoln's  action.  The  correspondence  re- 
veals Mr.  Sherman's  positive  stand  for  the  Union,  and  discloses 
political  conditions  in  Maryland  at  that  time.  It  warrants  the 
conclusion  that  except  for  the  pressure  of  the  National  Govern- 
ment, Maryland  would  have  seceded.

the  United  States,  May  9,  1862.  Washington :  Scammell 
&  Co.,  Printers.     1862. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  8. 

After  the  battle  of  Pittsburg  Landing,  or  Shiloh,  a  section 
of  the  public  press,  notably  the  Chicago  papers,  published  indis- 
criminate charges  of  cowardice  and  misconduct  on  the  part  of 
several  Ohio  regiments  on  the  field.  Even  the  Union  command- 
ers, Grant  and  Sherman,  were  not  exempt  from  these  attacks. 
Growing  out  of  these  publications  Senator  Sherman  offered  a 
resolution  in  the  United  States  Senate  calling  for  copies  of  all 
the  official  reports  from  all  of  the '  officers  in  command  in  the 
battle.  The  three  Ohio  regiments  singled  out  by  the  press  for 
denunciation  were  the  Fifty-Third,  Colonel  Appier;  Seventy- 
First,  Colonel  Mason,  and  the  Seventy-Seventh,  Colonel  DeHaas. 
Senator  Sherman  in  this  speech  reviews  these  reports  and  reads 
personal  letters  from  the  commanding  generals.  He  takes  up 
in  detail  the  movements  and  operations  of  the  different  Ohio  or- 
ganizations and  demolishes  all  charges  of  cowardice  or  miscon- 
duct on  the  part  of  Ohio  regiments.  This  speech  is  of  great 
historical  value  and  is  a  necessary  reference  iu  studying  the  bat- 
tle of  Shiloh.

Speech  of  Hon.  John  Sherman,  of  Ohio,  on  Taxation 
of  Bank  Bills;  delivered  in  the  Senate  of  the  United  States, 
January  8,  1863.  AVashington:  Printed  at  the  Congres- 
sional Globe  Office.    1863. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  15. 

The  problem  of  raising  money  to  carry  on  the  extensive 
operations  of  the  National  forces  and  to  provide  for  the  pay- 
ment of  the  debt  thereby  incurred  was  next  in  importance  to  the 
conduct  of  the  armies  in  the  field.  In  this  work  Mr.  Sherman 
was  the  chief  aid  to  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  Salmon  P.  Chase. 
One  of  the  embarrassments  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  in 
disposing  of  the  bonds  of  the  United  States  was  the  existing 
circulation  of  the  State  banks.  It  was  Mr.  Sherman's  plan  to 
tax  this  circulation  with  a  view  of  taxing  them  out  of  existence. 
In  this  carefully  prepared  speech  he  advocates  the  passage  of  a 
bill  introduced  by  him  containing  two  sections,  the  first  to  levy 
a  tax  of  two  per  cent  per  annum  on  the  circulation  of  all  bank 
bills  and  the  second  to  provide  for  a  tax  of  ten  per  cent  on  all 
fractional  currency  under  one  dollar  issued  by  corporations  or 
individuals.  Herein  he  defends  this  bill ;  he  not  only  argues  for 
the  proposed  tax,  but  declares  it  his  purpose  to  urge  a  gradual 
increase  of  the  tax  until  all  state  bank  bills  were  excluded.  He 
then  reviews  the  system  of  state  banking  and  gives  a  financial 
history  of  the  past  and  present  condition  of  the  country  a  knowl- 
edge of  which  will  add  greatly  to  a  full  understanding  of  the 
dangers  confronting  the  government  at  that  time.  Mr.  Sher- 
man's ideas  as  outlined  in  this  speech  were  adopted  by  Congress.

This  speech  is  in  support  of  a  bill  introduced  by  Mr.  Sher- 
man January  26,  1863,  "to  provide  a  national  currency,  secured 
by  a  pledge  of  United  States  stocks,  and  for  the  circulation  and 
redemption  thereof".  It  became  a  law  February  25  follow-

ful  financial  speeches.  Under  this  law  the  National  banks  were 
■organized  and  it  has  proved  to  be  one  of  the  strong  financial  sup- 
ports of  the  government.  As  a  war  measure  it  was  one  of  the 
substantial  aids  to  maintain  the  National  forces  in  the  field.

February  2,  1864.  Washington,  D.  C. :  McGill  &  With- 
drew.   1864. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  i6. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  and  valuable  of  all  of  Mr. 
Sherman's  public  writings.  He  advocates  the  use  of  the  slaves 
in  the  military  service  of  the  United  States;  reviews  historically 
the  enlistment  of  colored  freemen  and  slaves  in  the  wars  of  the 
United  States  —  with  Great  Britain  and  Mexico.  Maintains  the 
constitutional  right  of  the  Nation  to  make  such  enlistments,  and 
when  the  slaves  used  belonged  to  loyal  citizens,  he  advocated 
payment  for  same,  and  freedom  to  the  slave,  his  wife,  mother 
and  children.  The  speech  is  valuable  for  its  historical  discussion 
and  displays  the  wide  knowledge  of  Mr.  Sherman  on  public 
affairs.  He  criticises  the  Emancipation  Proclamation  of  Pres- 
ident Lincoln  and  doubts  the  constitutional  power  of  the  Pres- 
ident to  issue  it.

Mr.  Sherman  reviews  the  financial  legislation  resultant  from 
the  necessities  of  the  rebellion.  A  full  study  of  his  speeches  dur- 
ing the  distressful  period  of  the  war  is  necessary  to  completely

country.  In  these  speeches  the  whole  financial  history  of  the

The  question  before  the  Senate  was  upon  a  resolution  of

resentative shall  be  admitted  to  either  branch  of  Congress  from 
any  of  the  eleven  States  which  were  declared  to  have  been  in 
insurrection  until  Congress  shall  have  declared  such  State  en- 
titled to  such  representation.  Mr.  Sherman  in  this  speech  makes 
an  elaborate  argument  favoring  the  resolution.

to  Parkersburg,  W.  Va.,  on  June  7  it  proceeded  to  Washing- 
ton, D.  C,  from  which  place  it  proceeded  to  Bermuda  Hundred, 
where  it  arrived  June  12  and  was  assigned  to  the  First  Brigade, 
First  Division,  Tenth  Army  Corps.  On  the  i6th  of  June,  the 
First  Division  was  ordered  to  destroy  the  Richmond  and  Peters- 
burg Railroad,  in  order  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  sending  re- 
enforcements.  This  regiment  was  assigned  to  the  support  of 
a  battery  which  opened  a  furious  cannonade  while  the  railroad 
track  was  destroyed  for  four  miles.  The  regiment  also  did 
effective  work  at  Fort  Powhatan ;  although  it  never  was  engaged 
in  any  extended  military  operations,  its  record  for  faithful  ser- 
vice is  good.

William  Tecumseh  Sherman  was  born  at  Lancaster,  Ohio, 
February  8,  1820.  His  father  died  when  he  was  about  nine 
years  old,  and  he  was  brought  up  in  the  family  of  Hon.  Thomas 
Ewing,  through  whose  influence  young  Sherman  was  appointed 
a  cadet  at  West  Point.  He  graduated  in  July,  1840,  and  was 
appointed  2nd  Lieutenant  in  the  Third  Artillery  and  ist  Lieu- 
tenant in  1841.  He  resigned  from  the  army  September  6,  1853, 
and  was  engaged  in  private  pursuits  until  May,  1861,  when  he 
was  appointed  Colonel  of  the  Thirteenth  Regular  Infantry.  He 
took  an  honorable  part  in  the  battle  of  Bull  Run.  On  the  3rd  of 
August,  1 861,  he  was  commissioned  Brigadier  General  of  Volun- 
teers. At  the  hard  fought  two  days'  battle  of  Shiloh,  he  was 
wounded,  and  General  Grant  said  of  General  Sherman:  "To 
his  individual  efTorts  I  am  indebted  for  the  success  of  that 
battle".  He  was  commissioned  Major  General  of  Volunteers 
May  I,  1862.  He  distinguished  himself  at  Vicksburg,  Chat- 
tanooga, and  by  his  famous  march  to  the  sea  as  one  of  the 
great  generals  of  modern  times.  When  General  Grant  was 
elected  President,  General  Sherman  succeeded  to  the  command 
of  General  of  the  armies  of  the  United  States.  He  died  in  New 
York,  February  14,  1891.

In  these  memoirs,  General  Sherman  has  given  an  interesting 
record  of  his  Hfe,  principally  relating  to  his  military  career. 
When  first  published,  they  were  the  subject  of  much  criticism 
and  controversy,  but  they  stood  all  attacks  and  their  historical 
value  and  accuracy  is  now  acknowledged.

The  letters  relating  to  the  Civil  War  (pp.  76-274)  form  an 
instructive  and  valuable  historical  contribution  to  the  literature 
of  the  Rebellion.  The  correspondence  of  these  two  eminent 
Ohioans  is  frank  and  expressive  as  to  the  sentiments  of  both 
on  the  stirring  events  of  that  period.  Commencing  in  October, 
1859,  General  Sherman  gives  his  brother  a  view  of  Southern 
conditions  and  purposes  as  he  observes  them  in  Louisiana,  while 
superintendent  of  a  military  school  in  that  state.  From  thence 
forward,  follow  elaborate  letters  until  the  close  of  the  war. 
Senator  Sherman  writes  concerning  politics  in  Ohio  and  Wash- 
ington. The  views  of  each  on  secession  and  the  movements  in 
the  field,  are  written  with  great  frankness  and  detail.

duced a  high  class  of  patriotic  poems  dealing  with  incidents  and 
sentiments  of  the  war.  Some  of  them  were  read  at  G.  A.  R.

The  Heroic  Literature  of  the  War  Period.  A  Paper

Sherwood,  Colonel  111th  O.  V.  I.    Cincinnati :    n.  p.    1907. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  11. 

General  Sherwood  discusses  the  influence  of  patriotic  song 
writers  and  says  that  they  exercise  more  power  for  patriotism 
on  the  fields  of  war  and  at  the  homes  of  the  people  than  all 
other  influences  combined.  He  gives  the  history  of  the  war 
ballads  of  1861-65  both  by  the  Union  and  Confederate  song 
writers.  Many  of  them  have  passed  into  literature  as  classics 
of  the  English  language.  In  this  interesting  paper  we  have  a 
scholarly  and  critical  review  of  this  branch  of  war  literature. 
General  Sherwood  was  born  at  Stanford,  New  York,  August  13, 
1835.  He  graduated  at  the  Ohio  Law  College,  Cleveland.  Was 
Colonel  of  the  One  Hundred  and  Eleventh  Ohio  Volunteer  In- 
fantry and  brevetted  Brigadier  General  for  gallantry  at  the  bat- 
tles of  Franklin,  Tennessee  and  Nashville.  He  was  Secretary  of 
State  of  Ohio,  1868- 1872.  Served  in  Congress  from  the  Toledo 
district,  1874-6  and  1907-9.  Has  been  editor  of  various  papers  in 
Cleveland,  Toledo,  and  Canton.

The  author  of  this  work  was  appointed  Historian  of  his

402  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

of  events  under  his  observation  and  jotted  them  down  as  they 
occurred.  He  has  been  assisted  by  the  official  records  and  by 
committees  from  the  different  regiments  of  the  brigade.  The 
result  is  a  complete  and  reliable  history  of  value  to  the  reader 
and  creditable  to  the  writer. 

Fuller's  Ohio  Brigade  was  composed  of  the  Twenty- 
Seventh,  Thirty-Ninth,  Forty-Third  and  Sixty-Third  Ohio  Vol- 
unteer Infantry  Regiments.  It  was  one  of  the  most  effective 
organizations  that  went  from  Ohio.  The  Twenty-Seventh  was 
organized  in  July,  1861,  at  Camp  Chase,  Columbus,  Ohio,  and 
mustered  in  under  Col.  John  W.  Fuller;  the  Thirty-Ninth  was 
the  third  regiment  to  enhst  from  Ohio  for  three  years,  its 
Colonel  being  Col.  John  Grossbeck;  the  Forty-Third  was  prin- 
cipally from  central  and  eastern  Ohio,  with  J.  L.  Kirby  Smith 
as  Colonel,  and  the  Sixty-Third  was  commanded  by  Colonel 
John  W.  Sprague.  The  official  list  of  battles  in  which  Fuller's 
Ohio  Brigade  bore  an  honorable  part  has  been  compiled  by  the 
historian  and  it  fonns  a  roll  of  brilliant  and  dangerous  service.

Regiments  of  the  Brigade  took  part  in  the  first  four  engage-

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  22. 

This  address  has  for  its  subject,  the  services  of  the  Wash- 
ington County  soldiers  in  the  Civil  War.  Over  four  thousand 
men,  including  recruitments  were  furnished  by  this  coimty  for 
the  National  cause  and  they  were  found  to  be,  according  to  Gen- 
eral Smith,  in  the  following  Ohio  Regiments:  The  majority  of 
the  Seventy-Seventh,  over  a  third  of  the  Thirty-Sixth  and 
Ninety-Second,  and  two  companies  each  in  the  Thirty-Ninth  and 
Sixty-Third ;  one  company  each  in  the  First,  Seventh  and  Ninth 
Cavalry ;  also  the  Huntington's  and  DeBeck's  Batteries.  A  large 
number  of  Washington  county  citizens  crossed  the  Ohio  River, 
and  joining  with  Virginians,  formed  the  Second  Virginia  Cav- 
alry and  Buell's  Battery.  Many  enlisted  in  adjoining  districts 
in  the  Fifty-Third,  Seventy-Eighth  and  One  Hundred  and  Four- 
teenth Regiments,  and  in  the  United  States  colored  Troops.  Of 
the  National  Guards,  or  Hundred  Days'  Men,  seven  companies 
were  furnished  the  One  Hundred  and  Forty-Eighth  Regiment. 
In  his  address  General  Smith  narrates  the  services  and  fortunes

The  Influence  of  the  War  upon  our  Schools.  (In 
Eighth  Annual  Report  of  the  State  Commissioner  of 
Common  Schools  to  the  Governor  of  the  State  of  Ohio  for 
the  year  ending  August  31,  1861.  Columbus:  Richard 
Nevins,  State  Printer.    1862.) 

The  eiTect  of  the  civil  war  upon  the  schools  of  Ohio  is  fully- 
set  forth  in  this  report.  The  Commissioner,  after  communica- 
tion (see  pp.  7-20)  with  the  counties  of  the  state,  finds  the  con- 
dition of  national  affairs  has  not  diminished  the  interest  in  edu- 
cational affairs,  and  beyond  the  reduction  of  the  tax  levies  and 
the  pay  of  teachers  in  a  few  counties,  the  schools  maintained 
their  accustomed  prosperity.  He  notes  the  increasing  patriotic 
impulses  among  the  pupils,  and  an  increase  in  the  spirit  of  obedi- 
ence. The  appendices  of  the  report  contain  numerous  letters 
(Appendix  A)  from  school  Superintendents  giving  the  infor- 
mation on  which  the  Commissioner  bases  the  statements  of  his 
report.  There  are  also  letters  (Appendix  B)  from  the  State 
Superintendents  of  schools  of  fourteen  states  in  response  to  Mr. 
Smyth's  inquiry  as  to  how  the  schools  in  their  respective  states 
have  been  effected  by  the  war.  In  every  instance,  except  Ken- 
tucky, there  has  been  no  interruption  of  progress.  Appendix  C 
contains  letters  on  "Military  Instruction  in  Schools,"  from  prom- 
inent educators  in  Ohio  and  elsewhere  in  response  to  the  Ohio 
Commissioner's  inquiry  on  the  advisability  of  introducing  mili- 
tary education  into  the  schools.  The  general  opinion  expressed 
is  that  such  a  study  should  be  confined  to  military  schools.

Teachers  in  the  Army.  (In  Ninth  Annual  Report  of 
the  State  Commissioner  of  Common  Schools  to  the  Gov- 
ernor of  the  State  of  Ohio  for  the  year  ending  August  31, 
1862.    Columbus:    Richard  Nevins,  State  Printer.    1863.) 

The  Commissioner  devotes  considerable  space  to  the  school 
teacher  in  the  army,  and  estimates  that  fully  five  thousand  are 
at  the  front.  Among  the  most  prominent  teachers  and  profes- 
sors he  mentions  the  following:  Major  Generals  O.  M.  Mitchel

Majors  John  McClenehan,  D.  F.  DeWolf  and  M.  W.  Smith. 

It  is  noted  in  the  report  that  the  colleges  of  the  state  have 
been  materially  effected  by  the  war.  Ohio  Wesleyan,  Ohio, 
Antioch,  Oberlin,  Marietta,  Kenyon,  Western  Reserve  and 
Miami  Colleges  all  report  decreased  attendance,  and  many  of 
their  students  in  the  army.

to  the  Union,  and  while  not  approving  what  they  called  "the  mis- 
takes and  errors  of  the  Administration  in  the  prosecution  of  the 
war,"  they  protest  against  the  attitude  of  the  Democratic  party 
in  nominating  and  supporting  C.  L.  Vallandigham  for  Governor 
of  Ohio.  In  a  series  of  resolutions  they  denounce  secession, 
favor  a  vigorous  prosecution  of  the  war  for  the  Union,  urge 
the  support  of  all  laws  for  that  purpose,  express  gratitude  to  the 
soldiers  in  the  field  and  pledge  them  support  and  encouragement.

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  351. 

One  of  the  best'  of  the  earliest  regimental  histories.  It  was 
written  just  after  the  mustering  out  of  that  organization.  Every 
phase  of  the  experiences,  incident  to  the  life  of  the  regiment  is 
recorded  in  an  interesting  and  comprehensive  narrative.  Much 
of  the  material  was  prepared  on  the  actual  scenes  of  battle,  sieges 
or  march  and  it  possesses  the  merit  of  being  first  hand  in  its 
observations. 

The  Seventy-Eighth  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  was  raised 
under  special  authority  from  Governor  Dennison,  issued  to  M. 
D.  Leggett,  of  Zanesville,  who  became  its  Colonel  and  was  after- 
wards promoted  to  Brigadier  General.  The  mustering  was  com- 
pleted January  11,  1862,  and  in  thirty  days  the  regiment  left  for 
the  front.  During  its  three  years'  service,  it  was  engaged  at 
Shiloh,  Tenn.,  April  6-7,  1862;  Bolivar,  Tenn.,  August  30,  1862; 
Raymond,  Miss.,  May  12,  1863 ;  Champion  Hills.  Miss.  May  16, 
1863;  Siege  of  Vicksburg,  Miss.,  May  18  to  July  4,  1863;  Can- 
ton, Miss.,  February  26,  1864;  Kenesaw  Mountain,  Ga.,  June 
9-30,  1864;  Atlanta,  Ga.,  July  22,  1864;  Siege  of  Atlanta,  Ga., 
July  28  to  September  2,  1864;  Lovejoy  Station,  Ga.,  Septem- 
ber 2-6,  1864,  and  Bentonville,  N.  C,  March  19-21,  1865. 

After  the  taking  of  Savannah  and  the  march  through  the 
Carolinas,  up  to  the  surrender  of  the  Confederate  forces  under 
Johnston,  the  regiment  accompanied  the  National  forces  through 
Richmond  to  Washington  City  and  there  participated  in  the 
grand  review.  During  its  service  the  regiment  marched  three 
thousand  two  hundred  and  eighty-nine  miles;  was  transported 
on  steamboats  two  thousand  two  hundred  and  fourteen  miles ; 
and  on  railroad  one  thousand  si.x  hundred  and  ninety-nine  miles, 
making  the  total  distance  traveled  during  the  three  years,  seven 
thousand  two  hundred  and  two  miles.

STEWART    (NIXON   B.)  409 

The  writer  gives  the  history  of  his  regiment  from  Camp 
Dennison  to  the  Grand  Review  in  graphic  style.  It  is  emphat- 
ically a  picture  of  war  from  the  personal  view-point  of  a  private 
soldier.  He  tells  what  he  saw  and  describes  a  battle  by  noting 
when  and  how  his  comrades  fell  about  him.  At  Kenesaw 
Mountain,  the  regiment  helped  to  make  history,  and  this  is  the 
writer's  description  of  his  surroundings  in  that  murderous  as- 
sault: "The  beautiful  morning  was  half  gone  when  we  were 
told  that  all  things  were  ready.  The  hostile  army  grimly  waited 
for  our  coming  as  slowly  we  marched  into  the  jaws  of  death. 
Just  as  the  batteries  ceased  firing,  we  dressed  our  lines  into 
column  and  Col.  Dan  McCook  standing  in  front  of  the  brigade 
repeated  from  Macaulay's  'Horatius'  the  words : 

'Then  out  spoke  brave  Horatius, 

The  Captain  of  the  gate; 
'To  every  man  upon  this  earth 

Death  cometh  soon  or  late. 
'And  how  can  man  die  better, 

Than  facing  fearful  odds, 
'For  the  ashes  of  his  fathers, 

And  the  temples  of  his  gods  ?'  " 

"It  was  fifty  paces  from  McCook's  to  Morgan's  line.  We 
moved  promptly  on  signal  going  at  quick  time,  then  double  quick, 
on  coming  to  the  creek,  which  was  marshy  and  sluggish,  our 
lines  were  somewhat  broken.  Firing  began  immediately.  From 
the  crest  both  musketry  and  artillery,  but  we  pushed  on  cap- 
turing the  line  of  rifle  pits,  taking  the  men  prisoners.  The  bat- 
teries opened  right  and  left  as  we  pushed  on  up  the  hill.  It  is 
dreadful  to  think  about.  Grape  and  cannister  shot  and  shell 
sowed  the  ground  with  rugged  iron  and  garnished  it  with  dead. 
The  first  to  fall  was  Sergeant  John  T.  Fowler,  of  Co.  B.  As  he 
fell,  his  tongue  protruded  from  his  mouth,  caused  by  a  contrac- 
tion of  the  muscles  of  the  throat.  I  longed  to  take  him  in  my 
arms  and  minister  to  his  sufferings,  but  we  were  to  push  the 
battle.  The  race  of  flags  grew  every  moment  more  terrible. 
Four  color  bearers  were  either  killed  or  wounded.  *  *  *  * 
Sheets  of  flame  baptize  us.  Plunging  shot  tear  away  comrades 
on  left  and  right.  It  is  no  longer  shoulder  to  shoulder,  it  is  God 
for  us  all.  We  are  facing  the  steady  fire  of  two  thousand  in- 
fantry, pouring  down  upon  our  heads  as  if  it  were  the  old  his- 
toric curse  from  heaven.  We  wrestled  with  the  mountain,  but 
our  brave  men  are  climbing  steadily  on  —  upward  still.  Things 
are  growing  desperate.  The  enemy  began  to  throw  stones  upon 
our  heads.  They  light  the  fuse  and  throw  hand  grenades  in  our 
faces.  Our  brave  Dan  McCook  was  in  the  lead  when  our  first 
line  had  reached  the  fortifications,  only  to  find  a  barrier,  which 


410  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

was  calculated  to  make  a  weak  man  falter  and  a  brave  man  think 
*     *     *     *  Qyj.    brave    Colonel    urging   his    men    on,    was 

struck  as  he  said,  'Come  on  boys,  the  day  is  won,'  as  he  reached 
the  earthwork.  He  was  shot  four  inches  below  the  collar  bon* 
in  the  right  breast,  falling  outside  of  the  fortifications.  After 
the  fall  of  Col.  McCook,  the  voice  of  Captain  Charles  Fellows, 
of  McCook's  staff,  was  heard,  but  his  half-finished  'come  on 
boys  —  we'll  take'  —  was  cut  short  and  brave  Charley  fell  dead 
only  a  few  feet  from  the  ditch." 

Colonel  Daniel  McCook,  Jr.,  of  this  regiment,  was  one  of 
the  celebrated  Ohio  family,  known  as  the  "Fighting  McCooks," 
which  added  lustre  to  the  fame  of  their  state  in  the  war  of  the 
Rebellion.  He  raised  the  Fifty-Second  Ohio  under  a  commission 
from  Governor  Tod  in  August,  1862,  when  it  was  mustered  in  at 
Camp  Dennison.  It  saw  active  service  on  many  a  field  and  en- 
gaged in  the  following  battles:  Chickamauga,  Ga.,  Sept.  19-20, 
1863 ;  Resaca,  Ga.,  May  13-16,  1864;  Dallas,  Ga.,  May  25  to  June 
4,  1864;  Kenesaw  Mountain,  Ga.,  June  9-30,  1864;  General  As- 
sault on  Kenesaw  Mountain,  Ga.,  June  27,  1864;  Peach  Tree 
Creek,  Ga.,  June  19-20,  1864;  Siege  of  Atlanta,  Ga.,  July  28  to 
September  2,  1864;  Jonesboro,  Ga.,  August  31  to  September  i, 
1864;  Averysboro,  N.  C,  March  16,  1865,  and  Bentonville,  N. 
C,  March  19-21,  1865. 

This  history  also  contains  separate  sketches  of  each  of  the

This  regiment  was  organized  May  9,  1864,  by  consolidating 
the  Twenty-Third  Battalion  of  the  Ohio  National  Guard  and  the 
Sixtieth  Regiment  Ohio  National  Guard  to  serve  one  hundred 
days.  On  the  12th  of  May,  1864,  the  regiment  was  ordered  to 
New  Creek,  W.  Va.,  where  it  arrived  on  the  evening  of  the  14th. 

The  organization  did  effective  duty  in  West  Virginia,  per- 
forming guard,  picket  and  escort  duty.  It  was  mustered  out 
September  i,  1864.

Cover  title,  "Executive  Documents."  In  1861  the  military 
organization  of  Ohio  was  merely  nominal.  The  Surgeon  General 
was  a  member  of  the  Governor's  Staflf.  The  reports  of  the 
Medical  Department  for  the  first  year  were  filed  but  not  pub- 
lished. In  January,  1862  Hon.  David  Tod  succeeded  Governor 
Dennison  as  Chief  Executive,  and  following  the  plan  inaugurated 
by  his  predecessor,  he  organized  the  Medical  Bureau  of  the  State 
by  commissioning  Gustav  C.  E.  Weber,  M.  D.,  of  Cleveland, 
Surgeon  General.  During  the  year,  owing  to  growing  demands, 
there  was  great  activity  in  the  medico-military  service  of  the 
State.  The  Legislature  authorized  the  Governor  to  appoint  fifty 
additional  Assistant  Surgeons  for  Ohio  regiments.  In  conse- 
quence of  ill  health  Dr.  Weber  was  unable  to  complete  his  report, 
but  the  papers  and  correspondence  herein  printed  give  a  full 
idea  of  the  medical  work  for  the  year.

Annual  Report  of  the  Surgeon  General  for  the  year 
1863:  made  to  the  Governor  of  the  State  of  Ohio.  {In 
Annual  Reports  made  to  the  Governor  of  the  State  of  Ohio 
for  the  year  1863.  Part  II.  Columbus :  Richard  Nevins, 
State  Printer.    1864.    Pages  765-798.) 

Cover  title,  "Executive  Documents."  Reports  are  on  the 
following  subjects:  State  volunteer  medical  and  surgical  service; 
Examinations  of  medical  officers;  Apportionment  and  resigna-

lowing extract  from  the  report  is  indicative  of  the  work  per- 
formed by  this  department :  "The  records  of  Ohio  for  the  past 
two  years,  bear  ample  testimony  to  the  generous  part  she  has 
borne  in  this  work.  In  1862  her  eleven  hospital  boats,  chartered 
and  equipped  at  the  expense  of  the  State,  supplied  by  abundant

sanitary  and  medical  stores,  manned  by  large  and  capable  corps 
of  volunteer  surgeons  and  nurses,  visited  Fort  Donaldson,  Nash- 
ville, Pittsburg  Landing,  St.  Louis,  and  all  the  intervening  points, 
ministering  to  the  pressing  demands  of  every  post  of  the  liberal 
contributions  of  her  citizens,  and  brought  back  to  our  own  and 
other  States,  more  than  three  thousand  sick  and  wounded. 

The  present  year  opened  with  a  call  for  volunteers  to  hasten 
to  Southern  Tennessee,  to  bear  aid  and  comfort  to  the  wounded 
on  the  great  battle-field  of  Stone  River.  From  past  experience 
it  was  found  that  largely  increased  benefits  might  result  from 
extending  the  time  of  this  volunteer  service,  so  as  to  cover  all 
the  urgent  wants  that  follow  a  battle.  Accordingly,  none  were 
accepted  for  this  expedition  but  such  as  could  remain  for  one 
month,  if  needed  so  long.  Even  with  this  condition,  a  liberal 
supply  was  proffered.  Although  attended  with  some  increase 
of  expenditure,  the  solid  good  accomplished  was  largely  com- 
pensating. On  the  6th  of  January,  about  forty  surgeons  and 
nurses  joined  me  at  Louisville.  Upon  application  to  Gen.  Boyle, 
and  presenting  letters  of  introduction,  we  were  furnished  trans- 
portation to  Nashville,  where  we  arrived  on  the  8th,  being  de- 
tained on  the  way  by  interruptions  in  the  railroad.  Upon  re- 
porting to  Surgeon  Thurston,  U.  S.  Vols.,  Acting  Medical  Direc- 
tor of  the  Department  of  the  Cumberland,  a  large  majority  of 
our  surgeons  and  nurses  were  assigned  to  duty  in  the  Nashville 
hospitals,  which  were  being  rapidly  filled  up  with  wounded  from 
the  late  battle-field.  The  remainder  accompanied  me  to  Mur- 
freesboro',  where  we  were  cordially  received  by  General  Rose- 
crans.  We  spent  some  days  in  visiting  the  hospitals  and  camps  in 
the  town  and  neighborhood,  and  more  especially  ascertaining  the 
condition  of  the  sick  and  wounded  of  our  own  regiments.  The 
gratitude  of  these  brave  men,  in  the  midst  of  privations  and  suf- 
fering, for  this  interest  manifested  by  their  State  for  their  wel- 
fare, attested  its  moral  value,  and  fully  compensated  for  all  its 
cost."

The  labors  of  the  Surgeon  General  in  connection  with  the 
Civil  War  cease  with  this  report.  The  report  notes  "that  the

omitting  any  appropriation  for  the  salary  of  Surgeon  General." 
The  report  contains  a  carefully  prepared  record  of  the  medical 
officers  from  Ohio  who  served  in  the  War  for  the  Union.  The 
whole  number  of  Ohio  surgeons  engaged  in  the  War  was  1,177; 
of  this  number  287  were  regimental  surgeons ;  649  were  assistant 
surgeons  of  regiments;  150  were  contract  surgeons,  and  46  be-

of  the  murdered  President.  War  had  ceased  to  deeply  move  the 
public,  and  it  had  to  be  re-awakened  by  some  general  awful 
calamity.  Lest  there  might  be  found  some  to  declare  the  war

This  is  the  only  Ohio  regimental  history  written  in  the  Ger-

complete  and  interesting  volume. 

This  regiment  was  typical  of  the  fidelity  of  the  Germans  to 
the  Union,  for  it  was  composed  of  that  nationality  and  was  mus- 
tered into  the  service  as  the  first  three  years'  organization  from 
Ohio.  Robert  L.  McCook,  one  of  the  "Fighting  McCooks".

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  34. 

In  this  address  Judge  Taft  reviews  the  perilous  political  con- 
dition of  the  country  and  condemns  the  position  assumed  by  the 
Southern  States.  He  outlines  the  duties  of  American  citizen- 
hood  in  this  crisis.  He  analyzes  and  condemns  the  doctrine  of 
secession,  and  maintains  that  no  patriot  can  be  neutral  on  the 
question  of  the  enforcement  of  the  provisions  of  the  Constitution. 

Alphonso  Taft  was  born  at  Townshend,  Vermont,  Novem- 
ber 5,  1810.  He  was  graduated  from  Yale  in  1833.  In  1840  he 
settled  in  Cincinnati.  He  was  judge  of  the  Superior  Court  of 
Cincinnati  from  1866  until  1872.  He  served  as  Secretary  of 
War  in  President  Grant's  cabinet  from  March  8,  1876  to  May 
22  following,  when  he  was  transferred  to  the  attorney-generalship 
in  which  he  served  until  the  close  of  President  Grant's  adminis- 
tration. He  afterwards  was  Minister  to  Austria,  and  in  1884  was 
appointed  Minister  to  Russia.  He  died  at  San  Diego,  California, 
May  21,  1891.  Judge  Taft  was  the  father  of  President  William

essential  point,  outside  of  his  trust  in  Providence  and  his  as- 
surance that  the  world  is  governed  by  righteousness,  was  he 
in  harmony  with  the  popular  churches  of  Christendom,  nor 
would  he,  under  any  old  religion,  have  been  admitted  as  a  plain 
common  man  to  membership  in  any  of  them."

The  main  features  of  the  deadly  and  dramatic  battle  of  Stone

"Rosecrans,  W.  S."  But  the  battles  of  the  cavalry,  the  conflicts, 
the  captures  and  confusion  in  the  rear  of  Rosecrans'  army  on 
Wednesday,  December  31,  1862,  and  the  day  of  the  main  engage-

Thruston  narrated  them.     The  maps  showing  the  positions  of

are  of  great  value  in  connection  with  the  paper. 

General  Gates  P.  Thruston  was  born  at  Dayton,  Ohio,  June 
II,  1835.  He  was  graduated  from  Miami  University  in  1855 
and  from  the  Cincinnati  Law  School  in  1859.  He  entered  the 
army  at  the  beginning  of  the  Civil  War,  and  was  a  captain  in  the 
First  Ohio  Infantry.  He  won  promotion  for  faithful  and  meri- 
torious conduct,  and  was  brevetted  brigadier-general  March  12, 
1865.  After  the  war  he  settled  in  Nashville,  Tennessee.  He  is

The  second  of  the  War  Governors  of  Ohio.  He  succeeded 
Governor  William  Dennison  and  his  inaugural  address  is  de- 
voted largely  to  a  pledge  of  continued  loyalty  of  Ohio  to  the 
National  Government  in  the  War.  He  urges  that  financial,  mili- 
tary and  moral  support  be  given  to  the  Union  cause.

for  Governor  of  Ohio  by  the  Union  Republicans,  and  elected  by 
a  majority  of  55,000.  During  his  term,  he  gave  strong  and 
unvarying  support  to  the  Lincoln  Administration.  He  died  at 
his  home  at  Youngstown,  Nov.   13,  1868.

Governor  Tod  reviews  the  war  situation  in  the  State  and 
Nation,  dwelling  particularly  on  the  part  taken  by  Ohio  in  sus- 
taining the  Government.  The  greater  part  of  the  message  re-

nati and  the  response  of  the  "Squirrel  Hunters"  to  his  call,  the 
work  of  the  sanitary  commissions  and  the  suspension  of  the 
writ  of   habeas   corpus.     He   recommends   legislation   providing

246-264.) 

Cover  title,  "Executive  Documents."  Herein  is  given  the 
official  history  of  the  escape  of  General  John  H.  Morgan  and 
his  associates  from  the  Ohio  Penitentiary.  Governor  Tod  ap- 
pointed a  commission  consisting  of  General  George  B.  Wright, 
Quarter-Master  General,  and  B.  F.  Hoffman,  Private  Secretary 
of  the  Governor,  to  make  a  full  examination  of  the  facts  relat- 
ing to  the  escape.  They  took  sworn  evidence,  and  their  report 
is  based  upon  the  affidavits  and  testimony  of  many  witnesses. 
The  report  shows  that  although  there  was  no  evidence  what- 
ever of  any  collusion  or  corruption  on  the  part  of  any  one,  the 
escape  could  not  have  been  made  if  there  had  been  vigilance  and 
strict  discipline  in  the  prison.  The  Governor  in  his  communi- 
cation dated  December  ii,  1863,  to  Warden  Merion,  relieved 
him  of  any  criminal  responsibility,  but  he  did  say  "that  the  sole 
reason  for  their  escape  is  to  be  found  in  the  misunderstanding 
between  General  Mason  and  yourself  as  to  which  of  you  should, 
after  the  third  of  November,  be  responsible  for,  and  have  care 
of  and  the  inspection  of  the  prison  cells."

expense,  repelled  raids  upon  our  southern  and  eastern  border, 
with  a  spirit  and  energy  worthy  of  freemen;  we  have  aided  in 
the  capture  of  a  most  formidable  band  of  desperadoes,  led  by  a 
wily,  dangerous  chieftain;  we  have  provided  suitable  resting 
places  for  our  gallant  dead,  and  we  have  given  conclusive  evi- 
dence to  the  world  in  our  recent  elections,  as  well  as  in  the  gal- 
lant deeds  of  our  brave  men  in  the  field,  that  we  are  determined, 
much  as  it  has  cost  in  life  and  in  treasure,  or  may  hereafter  cost, 
to  continue  to  uphold  our  National  Government  in  its  unity  and

Cloih.    8  vo.  pp.  409  and  Appendix  LXIV,  with  Maps  and  Illustrations. 

The  author  has  written  a  history  of  his  regiment  as  inter- 
esting as  a  novel,  and  in  doing  so  he  has  not  sacrificed  a  single 
fact  of  the  record.  He  has  brought  to  his  task  the  exquisite 
literary  style  that  has  marked  his  other  works  in  another  field.. 

The  appendix  contains  official  reports  bearing  on  the  regi- 
mental service,  together  with  complete  roster  and  tables  relat- 
ing to  regiment. 

The  author  after  the  war  settled  as  a  lawyer,  farmer  and 
editor  at  Greensboro,  North  Carolina.  In  1868  he  was  elected 
a  judge  of  the  seventh  Judicial  district  of  that  State.  He  was 
an  observer  and  an  officer  in  the  troublous  days  of  the  Ku  Klux 
Klan  and  reconstruction.  He  wrote  a  series  of  historical  novels, 
illustrative  of  Southern  conditions,  which  had  great  effect  on  the 
sentiment  of  the  North.  He  is  the  author  of  "Figs  and  Thistles"" 
(1879),  "A  Fool's  Errand,  by  one  of  the  Fools",  of  which  135,- 
000  were  sold  (1879);  "Bricks  Without  Straw"  (1880);  "Hot 
Plowshares"  (1883) ;  "An  Appeal  to  Caesar"  (1884)  ;  and  other 
works  on  law  and  finance.    He  died  May  21,  1905. 

The  One  Hundred  and  Fifth  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  was 
a  Western  Reserve  regiment,  its  members  coming  mainly  from. 
Lake,  Ashtabula,  Geauga,  Trumbull  and  Mahoning  counties.  It 
was  mustered  into  the  service  August  20  and  21,  1862,  for  three

the  Second  Division,  Twenty-Third  Army  Corps;  Lights 
and  Shadows  of  Army  Life,  as  Seen  on  the  March,

The  writer  has  preserved  the  details  of  the  daily  life  of  his 
comrades  in  their  campaigns.  He  has  not  endeavored  to  record 
the  mere  historical  events,  but  rather  the  experiences,  grave  and 
gay,  of  army  life.  At  the  same  time  he  has  omitted  none  of 
the  real  events  of  his  battery  in  the  service  of  the  Union.  The 
battles,  campaigns,  trials  and  victories  are  loyally  and  accurately 
preserved. 

This  battery,  popularly  known  as  "Shields'  Battery,"  was 
mustered  into  service  September  10,  1862,  at  Camp  Cleveland, 
Ohio,  by  Captain  J.  R.  Paxton,  U.  S.  A.,  to  serve  for  three  years. 
■It  was  mustered  out  June  27,  1865,  after  faithful  and  arduous 
service.  It  participated  in  the  pursuit  of  the  Morgan  Raiders; 
was  at  the  Siege  of  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  November  17  to  Decem- 
ber 4,  1863;  in  the  East  Tennessee  Campaign  of  1863-4;  at  the 
Siege  of  Atlanta,  Ga.,  July  28  to  September  2,  1864,  and  at  the 
battle  of  Nashville,  Tenn.,  December  15  and  16,  1864. 

The  severest  and  most  trying  experiences  of  this  battery  were 
in  the  East  Tennessee  campaign.  The  winter  was  unusually 
cold,  and  only  by  the  greatest  efforts  were  the  men  prevented 
from  freezing;  in  addition  to  this,  provisions  were  scarce  be- 
cause it  was  almost  impossible  for  the  Government  to  send  sup- 
plies into  this  bleak  and  almost  inaccessible  country.  Notwith- 
standing these  conditions,  the  casualties  of  the  battery  were 
slight,  and  after  the  period  of  a  distressful  winter,  in  the  spring 
it  entered  the  Atlanta  campaign  to  win  additional  honors  of  war.

ALLANDIGHAM    (C.  L.) 

Speech  of  Hon.  C.  L.  Vallandigham,  of  Ohio, 
delivered  in  the  House  of  Representatives, 
February  20,  1861.  Washington:  Printed  by 
Henry  Polkenhorn.     1861. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  23. 

This  is  that  famous  speech  in  which  Mr.  Vallandigham  sup- 
ported the  proposition,  embodied  by  him  in  a  proposed  consti- 
tutional amendment  to  divide  the  Union  into  four  distinct  na- 
tionalities or  sections.  See  "Bingham,  John  A."  One  of 
his  amendments  (Article  XVI)  provided  that  "No  State 
shall  secede  without  the  consent  of  the  Legislature  of  the  States 
of  the  section  to  which  the  State  proposing  to  secede  belongs. 
The  President  shall  have  power  to  adjust  with  seceding  States 
all  questions  arising  by  reason  of  their  secession ;  but  the  terms 
of  adjustment  shall  be  submitted  to  the  Congress  for  their  ap- 
proval before  the  same  shall  be  valid".  The  appendix  to  this 
speech  contains  the  proposed  amendments  in  full.  Mr.  Val- 
landigham claimed  in  his  speech  that  his  purpose  was  to  save  the 
Union,  but  his  plan  was  essentially  destructive  of  national  unity 
and  contained  the  seeds  of  the  death  of  the  American  Republic. 
Like  all  of  his  speeches,  it  is  bold  in  expression  and  clear  in 
diction. 

Clement  L.  Vallandigham  was  born  at  New  Lisbon,  Ohio, 
July  29,  1820.  Received  an  academic  education  and  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  bar  in  1842.  In  1845-6  he  was  a  member  of  the 
Ohio  Legislature  and  from  1847  until  1849  he  edited  the  Dayton 
"Empire".    He  was  a  radical  believer  in  the  state-rights  branch 

(432) 


VALLANDIGHAM    (CLEMENT   L.)  433 

of  the  Democratic  party.  In  1857  he  was  a  candidate  for  Con- 
gress against  Lewis  D.  Campbell,  was  declared  defeated,  but 
was  seated  on  a  contest.  He  served  from  May  25,  1858,  until 
March  3,  1863.  He  opposed  the  war,  the  administration  and 
attacked  its  policy  in  and  out  of  Congress.  When  he  retired 
from  Congress  he  returned  to  Ohio  and  attacked  the  Lincoln 
administration  with  great  violence  and  bitterness.  General  Am- 
brose E.  Burnside,  the  commander  of  the  Department  of  the 
Ohio,  arrested  him  for  giving  aid  and  comfort  to  the  enemy,  by 
reason  of  his  speeches.  He  was  tried  by  court-martial  and  con- 
victed and  sentenced  to  imprisonment  during  the  war.  See 
"Vallandigham,  Clement  L.  The  Trial  of".  President  Lincoln 
was  appealed  to  by  various  committees  on  the  subject  to  release 
him,  see  "Lincoln,  Abraham",  but  without  effect.  The  sentence 
was  changed  to  banishment  across  the  lines.  The  leaders  of  the 
Confederacy  did  not  give  Mr.  Vallandigham  a  cordial  reception 
and  he  ran  the  blockade  by  sea  to  Canada.  While  thus  exiled, 
he  was  nominated  for  Governor  of  Ohio  by  the  Democratic  party 
but  was  defeated  by  John  Brough,  a  Democrat  running  on  the 
Union  Republican  ticket,  by  a  majority  of  over  100,000.  Mr.  Val- 
landigham returned  to  Ohio  afterwards  without  objection  by 
the  Government ;  he  was  a  delegate  to  the  Democratic  National 
Convention  that  nominated  General  George  B.  McClellan  in 
1864  and  also  the  National  convention  of  1868.  He  died  at 
Lebanon,  Ohio,  June  17,  1871,  as  the  result  of  an  accidental  pis- 
tol discharge  in  his  own  hands  while  illustrating  his  theory  of 
how  a  certain  homicide  occurred  in  which  he  was  defending  the 
accused.

This  speech  was  delivered  soon  after  the  opening  of  the 
extra  session  called  by  President  Lincoln  which  convened  July 
4,  1861.  Its  bold  antagonism  to  the  position  of  Mr.  Lincoln  and 
his  administration  almost  dazed  the  Union  sentiment  of  the 
North.  Without  sympathy  upon  his  own  side  (the  Democratic) 
of  the  House,  and  an  overwhelming  National  spirit  upon  the 
Republican  side,  this  speech  was  indicative  of  great  courage  on 
the  part  of  its  author.    It  at  once  created  a  deep  feeling  against

Mr.  Vallandigham  throughout  the  North  and  he  took  his  position 
as  an  opponent  of  the  Lincoln  administration  and  a  friend  to  the 
South,  which  attitude  he  maintained  througliout  the  war.  This 
speech  was  widely  circulated  in  England  and  on  the  Continent.

Clement  Laird  Vallandigham,  of  Ohio,  in  the  House  of 
Representatives,  January  14,  1863.  Washington :  n.  p. 
1863. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  16. 

This  is  a  pessimistic  philippic  against  the  prosecution  of 
the  War  and  a  severe  indictment  against  Mr.  Lincoln  and  his 
administration  for  their  part  in  its  conduct.  Its  practical  effect 
was  to  aid  secession  and  encourage  the  Rebellion,  although  Mr. 
Vallandigham  claimed  that  he  was  for  the  Union  through  peace. 
His  position  was  declared  boldly  as  against  the  War.  Said  he, 
"You  can  never  subdue  the  seceded  States.  Two  years  of  fearful 
experience  have  taught  you  that.  Why  carry  on  this  War?  If 
you  persist,  it  can  only  end  in  final  separation  between  the 
North  and  South.  And,  in  that  case,  believe  it  now,  as  you 
did  not  my  former  warnings,  the  whole  Northwest  will  go  with 
the  South !"  He  argues  for  peace  either  by  foreign  intervention 
or  domestic  agreement,  and  contending  that  slavery  must  be 
recognized  in  any  peace  settlement.     "In  my  deliberate  judg- 


VALLANDIGHAM    (CLEMENT    L.)  435 

ment,"  he  declares,  "African  slavery,  as  an  institution,  will  come 
out  of  this  conflict  fifty-fold  stronger  than  when  it  was  begun." 
This  speech  had  a  great  influence  in  the  North  in  increasing  the 
power  and  position  of  the  peace  party,  and  in  embarrassing  the 
Union  cause.  By  the  friends  of  the  Union  throughout  the 
country  it  was  regarded  "as  words  of  brilliant  and  polished 
treason."

This  publication,  now  extremely  rare,  there  being  but  very 
few  copies  in  existence,  was  circulated  widely  during  the  Brough- 
Vallandigham  campaign  of  1863.  Concerning  it  the  publishers 
state:  "Most  of  these  songs  have  already  been  printed  in  the 
Democratic  newspapers,  and  some  of  them  have  had  a  wide  cir- 
culation. Several  of  the  best  have  made  their  first  appearance 
in  the  'Cincinnati  Enquirer'  and  the  'Logan  Gazette.'  But  we 
have  taken  it  for  granted  that  the  writers  would,  in  every  case, 
contribute  the  merit  of  authorship  to  the  greater  merit  of  the 
cause  we  are  mutually  serving ;  hence  we  have  made  no  effort 
to  learn  the  names  of  the  writers,  nor  have  we  retained  them 
when  known." 

The  songs  herein  contained  are  grave,  sentimental,  comical, 
and  satirical.  Its  contents  illustrate  the  earnestness  and  bitter- 
ness of  an  exciting  canvass.  They  represent  an  intense  antag- 
onism to  Mr.  Lincoln,  and  the  prosecution  of  the  War.  The  fol- 
lowing is  a  specimen  of  the  sentiments  expressed : 

COMING. 
Air  —  "IVe  Come  with   Songs   to   Greet   You." 

We  are  coming,  Abraham  Lincoln, 

From  mountain,  wood  and  glen ; 
We  are  coming,  Abraham  Lincoln, 

With   the  ghosts  of  murdered   men. 
Yes !     We're  coming,  Abraham  Lincoln, 

With   curses  loud  and  deep, 
That  will  haunt  you   in  your  waking. 

And  disturb  you   in  your   sleep. 

There's   blood   upon  your   garments, 

There's  guilt  upon  your  soul. 
For  the  hist  of  ruthless  soldiers 

You   let   loose  without   control ; 
Your  dark  and  wicked  doings 

A  God  of  mercy  sees, 
And  the  wail  of  homeless  children 

Is  heard  on  every  breeze. 


438  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

There's  sadness  in  our  dwellings, 

And  the  cry  of  wild  despair, 
From  broken  hearts  and  ruined  homes, 

Breaks   on  the  midnight  air; 
While  Sorrow  spreads  her  funeral  pall 

O'er  this  once   happy  land ; 
For  brother  meets  in  deadly  strife, 

A  brother's  battle  brand. 

With  desolation  all  around, 

Our  dead  lie  on  the  plains ; 
You're  coming,   Abraham   Lincoln, 

With  manacles  and  chains, 
To  subjugate  the  white  man 

And  let  the  negro  free  — 
By  the  blood  of  all  these  murdered  men 

This  curse  can  never  be ! 

You  may  call  your  black  battalions 

To  aid  your  sinking  cause. 
And  substitute  your  vulgar  jokes 

For   liberty  and   laws. 
No !  by  the  memory  of  our  fathers. 

By  those  green  unnumbered  graves. 
We'll  perish  on  ten  thousand  fields 

Ere  we  become  your  slaves !

Rev.  James  L.  Vallandigham.  Baltimore:  Trumbull 
Brothers,  8  North  Charles  street.    1872. 

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  XII  and  573,  with  Full  Page  Portrait. 

A  very  complete  biography  written  from  the  affectionate 
and  admiring  standpoint  of  a  brother,  but  nevertheless  valuable 
and  attractive.  Vallandigham,  the  man,  is  placed  before  the 
reader  and  we  have  an  opportunity  to  see  him  in  youth  and 
manhood  from  his  personal  side.  It  is  also  a  history  of  the 
times  in  which  he  moved  and  acted.  His  personality  as  dis- 
closed in  these  pages  shows  him  to  have  been  sincere,  courageous 
and  willing  to  maintain  his  position  at  any  cost.  The  work 
justifies  Vallandigham  in  his  position  during  the  war  and  de- 
fends him  against  the  charge  of  disloyalty.

furnished  by  him.  By  Thomas  B.  Van  Horne,  U.  S.  A.

The  writer  of  this  valuable  and  important  contribution  to 
the  military  history  of  the  Nation  was  the  Chaplain  of  the  Thir- 
teenth Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  from  July  10,  1862  until  mus- 
tered out  October  14,  1864.  He  was  chaplain  in  the  regular 
army  at  various  army  posts  until  July,  1870;  was  retired  Febru- 
ary 26,  1885,  and  died  April  5,  1895.  He  enjoyed  rare  ad- 
vantages in  the  preparation  of  the  work.  It  was  undertaken  at 
the  special  request  of  General  Thomas,  who  supplied  the  ma- 


VETERAN    (the)  441 

terials  for  publication,  which,  as  the  writer  states  in  his  preface 
"gave  him  as  close  a  relation  to  it  as  was  possible  without  direct 
authorship."  The  Military  Journal  of  General  Thomas,  which 
preserved  an  accurate  record  of  the  operations  of  each  day,  is  the 
basis  of  these  volumes.  In  addition  he  placed  in  the  hands  of  the 
author  copies  of  orders,  telegrams,  official  reports  and  other 
papers,  unofficial  but  equally  authoritative  as  the  muniments 
of  a  truthful  narrative.  The  maps  which  illustrate  the  history 
were  executed  at  General  Thomas'  request,  by  authority  of  the 
War  Department.  A  short  introduction  to  the  first  volume  treats 
of  the  causes  of  the  war,  and  an  appendix  to  the  second  volume 
contains  a  list  of  the  officers  in  the  Army  of  the  Cumberland 
who  were  killed  in  action,  or  who  died  of  wounds  or  disease 
during  the  progress  of  the  war.

A  campaign  document  of  1864,  widely  circulated,  mainly 
against  the  candidacy  of  George  H.  Pendleton  for  President,  but 
generally  against  the  Democratic  organization.  The  expression 
"Copperhead"  was  applied  in  1862  and  during  the  war  to  those 
members  of  the  Democratic  party  in  the  Northern  States  who 
violently  opposed  the  suppression  of  the  rebellion  and  who 
claimed  that  it  was  hopeless  and  illegal  to  coerce  the  seceding 
states.

Property   in  the  Territories.      Speech   of 
Hon.  Benj.  F.  Wade,  of  Ohio.    Delivered  in 
the  Senate  of  the  United  States,  March  7, 
1860.    Washington,  D.  C. :    Buell  &  Blanch- 
ard.  Printers.     1860. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  14. 

The  speeches  of  Senator  Wade  on  Slavery,  Secession,  War 
and  Reconstruction  represent  in  the  best  form  the  radical  liter- 
ature of  the  time.  He  was  an  abolitionist  of  the  most  pronounced 
type  and  his  expressions  were  uncompromising  and  in  the  strong- 
est Anglo-Saxon.  He  was  always  in  advance  of  his  party  and  to 
him  more  than  any  other  Ohioan  in  Congress  may  be  credited 
the  firm  stand  taken  by  the  Republican  party  during  the  war. 
That  he  went  to  extremes,  and  that  Mr.  Lincoln  and  the  con- 
servative Union  element  often  refused  to  follow  him  is  also  true. 

In  this  speech  Mr.  Wade  discusses  slavery  in  the  territories 
and  the  Fugitive  Slave  Law.  The  position  of  the  Republican 
party  is  here  fully  set  forth,  and  to  the  student  no  better  state- 
ment can  be  given. 

Benjamin  F.  Wade  was  born  in  Feeding  Hills  parish,  Mas- 
sachusetts, October  27,  1800.  He  died  at  Jefferson,  Ohio,  March 
2,  1878.  He  was  a  State  Senator  of  Ohio,  a  United  States  Sen- 
ator, President  pro  tem  of  the  Senate,  and  acting  Vice-President. 
In  1 85 1  he  was  elected  to  the  United  States  Senate  from  Ohio,  re- 
elected in  1856  and  in  1862.  He  was  one  of  the  most  radical 
and  influential  anti-slavery  men  of  his  time  and  during  the  Re- 
bellion one  of  the  most  pronounced  advocates  of  the  Union  cause 

(443) 


444  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

in  Congress.  He  took  a  conspicuous  part  in  the  great  debates'  on 
slavery,  the  wfar,  and  reconstruction,  and  was  the  recognized 
leader  of  the  Republican  party  in  the  Senate.  As  chairman  of 
the  Committee  on  the  Conduct  of  the  War,  he  rendered  his  coun- 
try invaluable  service  and  exercised  a  tremendous  influence  in 
military  operations.  His  bitter  and  advanced  views  often  brought 
him  in  conflict  with  President  Lincoln,  nevertheless  he  was  one 
of  the  imposing  and  era-making  characters  of  the  Civil  War 
period.

During  the  agitated  and  distracted  condition  of  the  country, 
viz.,  between  Mr.  Lincoln's  election  and  inauguration,  this  speech 
was  delivered.  It  is  a  bold  defense  of  the  Union  and  an  attack 
on  the  Southern  leaders  for  their  steps  towards  the  dissolution. 
One  by  one  he  answers  the  pretexts  offered  by  the  South  to 
justify  secession.  While  it  is  aggressive,  it  is  temperate  and 
conciliatory — more  so  than  his  speeches  generally.

A  reply  to  Senator  McDougall,  of  California,  and  a  severe

observations  at  the  front  of  General  McClellan's  conduct  of  the 
war,  and  how  he  urged  the  General  to  engage  the  defiant  Con-

Senator  Wade  represented  more  distinctively  than  any  of 
his  contemporaries  of  war  time  the  radical  Union  and  anti-slav- 


446  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

ery  sentiment  of  his  party.  He  carried  his  positive  views  into 
the  reconstruction  period.  In  this  speech  he  disagrees  with  the 
post-war  poHcy  of  the  late  President  Lincoln  as  well  as  that  of 
President  Johnson.  Afterwards  he  became  one  of  the  bitterest 
opponents  and  prosecutors  of  the  latter.  He  favors  in  this  ut- 
terance the  most  radical  and  drastic  treatment  of  the  Southern 
States.  A  study  of  Senator  Wade's  writings  and  speeches  at 
this  time  is  necessary  to  a  proper  understanding  of  the  great 
conflict  in  Congress  during  the  reconstruction  period.

The  subject  matter  of  this  pamphlet  was  originally  published 
in  the  "Ohio  Soldier"  a  periodical  published  at  Chillicothe,  Ohio. 
It  is  practically  a  history  of  the  Thirty-Third  Ohio  Volunteer 
Infantry.  The  battles,  marches  and  campaigns  of  the  regiment, 
together  with  the  personal  observations  and  experiences  of  the 
writer  are  narrated  in  good  literary  style.  It  is  above  the  average 
of  regimental  histories. 

This  regiment  was  organized  at  Camp  Morrow,  Ports- 
mouth, Ohio,  from  August  27  to  October  11,  1861,  to  serve 
three  years.  It  took  an  honorable  part  in  the  following  battles: 
Perryville,  Ky.,  October  8,  1862;  Chickamauga,  Ga.,  Septem- 
ber 19-20,  1863;  Lookout  Mountain,  Tenn.,  November  24,  1863;

The  Sixty-First  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  was  organized 
from  the  State  at  large  in  April  and  May,  1862,  to  serve  three

March  31,  1865.  This  historical  sketch  was  read  at  the  annual  re- 
union of  the  regiment  at  Cleveland,  Ohio,  September  12,  1901 ;  it 
deals  only  with  the  actual  narrative  of  the  regiment's  service  and 
is  strictly  a  regimental  history.  Though  brief  it  is  full  and  re- 
liable. 

The  Sixty-First  was  engaged  in  the  following  battles  and 
campaigns :  Freeman's  Ford,  Va.,  August  23-25,  1862 ;  Second 
Battle  of  Bull  Run,  August  30,  1862;  Chancellorsville,  Va.,  May

Twelfth  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry.    By  J.  E.  D.  Ward, 
Ripley,  Ohio:     1864. 

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  84. 

This  little  volume  is  interesting  not  only  for  what  it  records, 
but  also  because  it  is  the  first  Ohio  regimental  history  published 
in  permanent  form.  It  necessarily,  for  that  reason,  lacks  the 
official  information  and  complete  knowledge  so  important  in 
works  of  this  kind.  It  was  issued  shortly  after  the  mustering 
out  of  the  regiment.  The  writer  divides  his  history  into  periods 
of  four  campaigns  and  records  his  personal  views  and  the  move- 
ments of  the  regiment  in  those  sub-divisions. 

This  regiment  was  organized  at  Camp  Dennison  from  June 
19  to  June  29,  1861,  to  serve  three  years.  It  was  mustered  out 
July  II,  1864,  by  reason  of  expiration  of  service.  Its  record 
shows  that  it  moved  on  foot,  rail  and  water  a  distance  of  four 
thousand  and  forty-nine  miles  and  sustained  a  loss  in  killed, 
wounded  and  missing  of  four  hundred  and  fifty-five  men.  It 
was  engaged  at  Scary  Creek,  W.  Va.,  July  17,  1861 ;  Gauley 
Bridge,  W.  Va.,  August  25,  1861  ;  Carnifex  Ferry,  W.  Va.,  Sep- 
tember 10,  1861 ;  Bull  Run  Bridge,  Va.,  August  27,  1862;

An  Account  of  the  Private  Life  and  Public  Services 
of  Salmon  Portland  Chase.  By  Robert  B.  Warden.  Cin- 
cinnati :    Wilstach,  Baldwin  and  Co.     1874. 

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  XLVI  and  342,  with  Steel  Portrait  of  Mr.  Chase. 

This  is  the  greatest  repository  of  facts  concerning  Salmon 
P.  Chase  and  of  his  correspondence,  both  public  and  private, 
throughout  his  Hfe.  The  work  as  a  literary  monument  to  the 
writer  or  his  subject  cannot  be  praised.  The  author  was  for  a 
time  the  private  secretary  of  Mr.  Chase  and  had  recourse  to 
all  his  papers,  official  and  personal,  and  he  has  used  them  liber- 
ally. He  injects  his  own  personality  too  much  into  the  work. 
Of  Cincinnati,  particularly,  and  of  Ohio  at  large,  the  volume 
naturally  takes  large  notice.  The  letters  of  Mr.  Chase  throw  a 
great  light  on  slavery  and  the  war  and  are  the  most  valuable 
compositions  in  the  work. 

Robert  B.  Warden  was  bom  in  Bardstown,  Ky.,  January 
18,  1824.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1845;  became  judge 
of  the  court  of  common  pleas  at  Cincinnati  in  1850.  In  1853  he 
was  appointed  Rep)orter  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Ohio.  On  De- 
cember 9,  1854,  Governor  Medill  appointed  him  a  member  of 
the  court  for  which  he  had  been  selected  as  reporter  a  year 
before.  He  was  only  thirty  years  of  age  at  this  time — the  young- 
est judge  that  ever  acted  in  the  Supreme  Court.  He  was  a  man  of 
more  literary  than  legal  ability  and  wrote  much.  He  died  in 
Washington  in  1884.

Herein  is  given  in  condensed  form  an  excellent  history  of  a 
most  important  branch  of  the  military  service  during  the  War 
of  the  Rebellion.  In  the  beginning  the  facilities  for  hospital 
and  surgical  service  were  crude  and  inadequate.  This  paper 
traces  the  growth  and  development  of  this  department  with  an 
accuracy  and  knowledge  that  makes  it  of  great  value.    The  con-

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  8. 

An  incident  of  hospital  experience,  illustrating  the  humane 
side  of  the  war  and  showing  how  Southern  women  tenderly

1863. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  8. 

This  speech  attacks  Mr.  Lincoln  and  his  administration  for 
the  proposed  legislation.  He  opposed  Negro  enlistment  for 
racial  reasons  and  argues  that  if  the  black  man  fights  the  battles 
of  his  country  he  will  be  entitled  to  suffrage,  and  political  and 
legal  equality.

A  plea  for  peace,  temperate  and  earnest.  Lacks  the  bitter- 
ness of  the  usual  anti-administration  statesman.  The  author 
served  in  the  Thirty-Seventh  and  Thirty-Eighth  Congresses  from 
the  Sixth  Ohio  district,  and  in  the  Union  army.

WHITING   (WILLIAM)  453 

Contains  the  full  reports  of  two  important  Ohio  cases  aris- 
ing out  of  the  exercise  of  the  extraordinary  powers  of  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States  during  the  Rebellion. 

The  first  is  that  of  John  W.  Kees  vs.  David  Tod  (Governor 
of  Ohio)  and  others  in  the  Pickaway  County  Common  Pleas  on 
a  petition  of  defendants  to  remove  the  case  for  trial  to  the  United 
States  Circuit  Court.  The  plaintiff  was  arrested  by  the  follow- 
ing order  of  the  War  Department,  issued  June  27,  1862 : 

"Sir  :  —  Proceed  with  one  assistant  by  first  train  to  Circle- 
ville  in  the  State  of  Ohio,  arrest  there  or  wherever  else  he  may 
be  found  John  W.  Kees,  editor  and  publisher  of  the  'Circleville 
Watchman',  and  deliver  him  to  the  commandant,  at  Camp  Chase, 
permitting  no  communication  with  him,  except  by  yourself  and 
your  subordinates  charged  with  his  safekeeping,  and  if  you 
think  fit  by  his  family  in  your  presence.  Examine  all  papers, 
private  or  otherwise,  found  at  the  office  of  this  paper,  the  resi- 
dence of  Kees,  or  on  his  person  and  bring  with  you  to  the  de- 
partment all  that  may  be  found  of  a  treasonable  or  suspicious 
nature,  as  well  as  a  copy  of  each  issue  of  the  'Watchman'  during 
the  last  four  months.  Close  the  office,  locking  up  the  presses, 
type,  paper  and  other  material  found  therein  and  place  in  charge 
of  a  discreet  and  trustworthy  person  who  will  see  that  it  is  safely 
kept.  If  you  think  further  aid  will  be  necessary  call  on  Gover- 
nor Tod  at  Columbus,  who  will  be  requested  to  give  you  such 
information  and  aid  as  you  may  think  needful  in  enabling  you  to 
fulfill  your  duty.  Let  this  order  be  executed  promptly,  dis- 
creetly and  quietly ;  and  when  executed  make  full  report  of  your 
doings  to  this  department. 

"By  Order  of  the  Secretary  of  War. 

(Signed.)     "C.  P.  Wolcott, 
"Assistant  Secretary  of  War." 

This  order  was  executed  and  the  party  was  confined  in  the 
"Old  Capitol  Prison"  at  Washington,  D.  C.,  for  seventeen  days 
and  afterwards  Kees  brought  suit  in  damages  for  $30,000.00 
against  the  Governor  and  others  who  executed  the  order.  Judge 
Dickey  in  an  elaborate  opinion  (pp.  216-225)  granted  the  peti- 
tion to  remove  the  case  to  the  United  States  Circuit  Court.  The 
case  is  important  as  showing  the  condition  of  political  affairs 
in  Ohio  at  this  time.  Kees's  paper,  as  shown  by  extracts,  was 
inflammatory  against  the  government  and  treasonable  in  char- 
acter. 

The  full  report  of  the  decision  in  Vallandigham's  case  be- 
fore the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  is  also  given.  This 
was  an  ex  parte  application  of  a  writ  of  certiorari  by  Clement  L. 
Vallandigham  to  the  Judge  Advocate  General  of  the  United 
States.     The  writ  was  refused,  the  court  holding  that  the  Su- 


454  CIVIL  WAR  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

f 

preme  Court  had  no  power  to  revise  or  pronounce  any  opinion 
upon  the  proceedings  of  a  military  commission.  Mr.  Justice 
Noah  H.  Swayne  delivered  the  opinion. 

Both  of  these  cases  attracted  great  attention  throughout 
Ohio  and  the  country  at  the  time  and  they  have  an  important 
bearing  on  the  history  of  that  period.

General  Wallace's  Division — Battle  of  Shiloh — Was 
it  Tardy?  By  Col.  Chas.  Whittlesey.  Cleveland,  Ohio: 
n.  p.    1875. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  8. 

The  occasion  of  this  pamphlet  was  the  charges  of  certain 
newspapers,  notably  the  National  Republican,  of  Washington, 
which  attacked  Whitelaw  Reid  of  the  New  York  Tribune  for 
his  account  of  that  battle  to  the  Cincinnati  Gazette  and  General 
Wallace  for  "shameful  tardiness."  Colonel  Whittlesey  writes  in 
vindication  of  General  Wallace,  and  incidentally  reviews  the  ac- 
tions of  portions  of  several  regiments  of  Ohio  troops.

Department  of  Ohio.  Cleveland,  Ohio :  William  W.  Wil- 
liams.   1884. 

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  89,  with  5  Full  Page  Maps. 

Contains  the  very  interesting  and  intelligent  observations 
of  the  writer  on  the  army  movements  in  West  Virginia  and 
Tennessee,  including  the  capture  of  Fort  Donelson  and  the  bat- 
tle of  Shiloh ;  also  a  description  of  the  siege  of  Cincinnati,  the 
defensive  works  of  which,  on  the  Kentucky  side,  were  surveyed 
and  located  by  Colonel  Whittlesey.  His  personal  sketches  of 
Generals  McPherson,  Mitchel,  Cox,  Leggett  and  Force  add 
value  to  his  "memoranda"  which  of  themselves  are  of  high  lit- 
erary character. 

Col.  Whittlesey  was  born  at  Southington,  Connecticut,  Oc- 
tober 4,  1808.  He  graduated  from  West  Point  in  iB.-^i,  served 
in  the  Black  Hawk  War  in   1832  and  after  that  resigned  from 


WILDER   (JOHN  T.)  455 

the  army.  He  was  connected  with  United  States  Geological 
Survey  from  1847  to  1851.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
Ohio  Geological  Survey  in  1837.  On  the  breaking  out  of  the  Re- 
bellion he  was  made  chief  engineer  of  the  Ohio  troops.  He  was 
appointed  Colonel  in  August,  1861.  He  led  his  regiment  at 
Fort  Donelson  and  commanded  a  brigade  at  Shiloh.  His  health 
failing  he  resigned  in  1862  and  went  back  to  his  scientific  work. 
He  has  written  a  great  deal  on  various  subjects,  his  titles  num- 
bering more  than  200.     He  died  at  Cleveland,  Ohio,  in  1886.

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  10. 

The  writer  was  a  commanding  officer  in  the  movements  of 
which  he  writes  and  his  observations  and  descriptions  are  from 
the  standpoint  of  close  action  and  participation.

I.,  by  Theodore  Wilder.  Oberlin :  J.  B.  T.  March,  Print- 
er, "News  Office".     1866. 

Cloth.    16  mo.  pp.  83. 

This  company  was  composed  almost  entirely  of  professors 
and  students  of  Oberlin  College.  It  was  the  "Roundhead"  com- 
pany of  the  regiment  and  because  of  the  open  Christian  profes- 
sion and  life  of  its  members  it  was  called  the  "praying  cornpany." 
Its  record  and  conduct  throughout  the  war  showed  this  life  was 
a  tower  of  strength  in  bearing  the  hardships  and  burdens  of  mili- 
tary service.  Their  health  was  better,  they  could  stand  longer 
marches,  they  had  less  sickness  and  recovered  from  wounds 
more  quickly  than  those  whose  life  led  them  to  reckless  and  dis- 
sipated habits.  Company  C  after  a  period  of  service  won  the 
admiration  of  its  fellows,  and  ridicule  was  turned  to  respect. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  history  the  author  has  had  re- 
course to  diaries  and  journals  kept  by  the  members  and   the 


456  CIVIL  WAX  LITERATURE  OF  OHIO 

official  returns  of  the  commanding:  officers,  and  is  thus  able  to 
give  the  numerous  dates  and  facts  with  a  good  degree  of  correct- 
ness. A  biographical  record  of  officers  and  men  is  given  in  the 
work.

and  Brevet  Brigadier  General,  U.  S.  Volunteers.  San- 
dusky, O. :    F.  Mack  &  Bros.,  Printers.    1884. 

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  XXIV  and  364. 

A  well  written,  comprehensive  and  interesting  history  of 
this  regiment's  service.  It  possesses  a  certainty  of  narrative 
unusual  in  regimental  histories.  The  writer  has  depended  little 
upon  his  recollections,  but  has  relied  upon  official  records  and 
diaries,  letters  and  memoranda  written  at  the  time  by  himself 
and  others.  To  the  work  has  been  added  a  chapter  in  com- 
memoration of  those  who  died  in  the  service,  as  well  as  those 
who  have  since  died  from  wounds  received  or  disease  contracted 
in  the  field.  A  complete  roster  of  officers  and  men,  by  com- 
panies, giving  the  general  military  history  and  final  record  of 
each  closes  the  volume. 

This  regiment  was  organized  at  Gallipolis  and  Marietta  in 
September  and  October,  1862,  to  serve  for  three  years.  It  was 
mustered  out  of  service  June  14,  1865,  after  full  participation  in 
the  following  battles,  all  in  the  state  of  Virginia:  Moorefield, 
January  3,  1863;  Romney,  February  16,  1863;  Bunker  Hill, 
June  13,  1863;  Winchester,  June  14-15,  1863;  Piedmont,  June

These  recollections  are  of  the  personal  observations  and  ex- 
periences of  the  writer.  They  are  interesting  as  giving  the  de- 
tails of  an  enterprise  the  exact  purpose  of  which  has  not  yet 
been  made  clear  from  a  military  standpoint.

The  National  Tribune.     1897. 

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  237.     Illustrated. 

The  writer  was  a  private  in  Company  C,  Twenty-First  Regi- 
ment, Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry.  He  was  of  the  heroic  band 
more  generally  known  as  the  "Andrews  Raiders."  In  this 
volume  he  details  his  individual  impressions,  experiences  and  es- 
cape. It  was  originally  published  in  an  Ohio  newspaper,  and  aft- 
erwards, in  1880,  brought  out  in  book  form  at  Toledo.  The 
author  records  his  part  in  this  daring  enterprise  with  modesty, 
although  the  expedition  was  the  most  intrepid  and  far-reaching 
of  the  War,  and  has  but  few  parallels  in  the  history  of  ancient 
or  modern  warfare.  See  "Ohio  Boys  in  Dixie";  "Foraker,  J.

An  extremely  able  presentation  of  the  conditions  existing 
at  this  time.  The  preacher  deprecates  war  but  regards  it  as 
inevitable  if  the  threatenings  of  the  South  are  carried  into  effect. 
He  pleads  for  peace  and  urges  Christians  to  do  all  that  can  be 
done  to  preserve  it.

One  of  the  most  complete  and  elaborate  regimental  his- 
tories published.  Its  typography  is  of  the  best  and  it  is  profuse 
with  maps,  portraits  and  illustrations.     The  text  is  indicative 


WINDSOR  (a.  h.)  459 

of  the  vast  difference  between  the  regimental  history  written 
immediately  after  the  war  and  the  one  written  at  the  present 
time.  The  first  is  generally  from  the  personal  experiences  and 
observations  of  the  writer,  while  the  other  is  based  on  the  of- 
ficial records  of  the  War  Department  at  Washington.  In  this 
volume  the  writer  has  given  his  readers  history  pure  and  simple 
in  recording  the  life  of  the  regiment  and  he  has  drawn  freely 
on  all  contemporary  records.  In  forty  chapters  he  has  narrated 
the  organization,  campaigns  and  battles  of  this  organization. 
Biographies  and  portraits  of  members  of  the  regiment  are  nu- 
merous ;  a  miscellany  containin.a;  a  description  of  monuments 
erected  to  the  regiment  and  a  roster  and  casualty  list  add  to  its 
interest. 

The  Seventh  Ohio  Regiment  was  organized  at  Cleveland 
and  Camp  Dennison  in  June,  1861,  to  serve  three  years.  It 
was  kept  well  at  the  front  during  most  of  its  service  and  was  en- 
gaged in  most  of  the  severely  contested  battles  of  the  war. 
W.  F.  Fox  in  his  "Regimental  Losses  in  the  Civil  War"  classes 
it  with  the  "Three  hundred  fighting  regiments"  and  says :  "One 
of  the  finest  regiments  in  the  service.  It  was  raised  in  Northern 
Ohio,  with  rendezvous  at  Cleveland  and  was  composed  of  ex- 
ceptionally good  material.  Its  rank  included  men  of  culture  and 
good  social  position,  clergymen,  students,  teachers,  bankers, 
farmers  and  mechanics.  They  enlisted  promptly  at  the  first 
news  of  war,  the  regiment  organizing  in  April  for  the  three 
months'  service,  but  entering  the  three  years'  service,  almost 
to  a  man,  when  the  second  call  for  troops  was  made." 

Its  service  included  the  following  battles :  Cross  Lanes, 
W.  Va.,  August  26,  1861 ;  Winchester,  Va.,  March  23,  1862; 
Port  Republic,  Va.,  June  9,  1862;  Cedar  Mountain,  Va.,  August

and  Resaca,  Ga.,  May  13-16,  1864.  The  regiment  was  mustered 
out  July  8,  1864,  at  Cleveland,  where  Governor  Brough  ad- 
dressing it  said:  "No  regiment  has  returned  to  the  bosom  of 
the  State,  and  none  remains  to  come  after  it,  that  will  bring  back 
a  more  glorious  record  than  the  gallant  old  Seventh."

The  Ninety-First  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry  was  raised  in 
Southern,  Ohio,  from  the  counties  of  Adams,  Scioto,  Lawrence, 
GalHa,  Jackson  and  Pike.  It  was  mustered  in  at  Camp  Ironton, 
Ohio,  September  7,  1862,  to  serve  three  years  and  was  mustered 
out  June  24,  1865.  This  little  history  written  immediately  at  the 
close  of  the  regiment's  service  is  a  very  scant  and  general  recital 
of  its  record.  It  contains  a  full  roster  of  the  members  of  the 
regiment  and  a  list  of  casualties — dead,  wounded  and  captured. 
This  regiment  saw  hard  service  and  was  in  the  following  en- 
gagements :  Bufifalo,  W.  Va.,  September  26,  1862 ;  Fayetteville, 
W.  Va.,  May  19,  1863;  Blake's  Farm,  W.  Va.,  May  21,  1863;

This  is  of  no  value  from  a  historical  standpoint.  It  is  J 
tirade  against  Grant  and  Sherman  apparently  under  the  idea 
that  both  had  a  personal  feeling  against  the  writer.  It  does  not 
deserve  to  be  classed  as  a  regimental  history.  It  is  apparent 
that  the  author  has  written  in  an  erratic  vein,  due  probably  to 
fancied  wrongs.  There  is  a  strain  of  egotism  on  nearly  every 
page  that  warrants  this  conclusion. 

The  author  was  the  Colonel  of  this  regiment.  He  was  the 
son  of  Governor  Worthington  of  Ohio;  was  born  at  Adena,  Ross 
county,  March  i8,  1807 ;  graduated  from  West  Point  in  1827.  He 
served  in  the  Mexican  War.    Died  February  23,  1884. 

The  preservation  of  the  history  of  the  Forty-Sixth  Ohio 
Volunteer  Infantry  should  have  fallen  into  more  sensible  hands, 
because  it  was  a  fine  organization  and  has  left  a  fine  record. 
It  was  organized  at  Worthington,  Ohio,  from  October  23,  1861, 
to  January  28,  1862,  to  serve  for  three  years.  It  valiantly  per- 
formed its  duty  in  the  following  battles:  Shiloh,  Tenn.,  April 
6-7,  1862 ;  Siege  of  Corinth,  Miss.,  April  3,  1862 ;  Siege  of 
Vicksburg,  Miss.,  May  18  to  July  4,  1863;  Jackson,  Miss.,  July

Pamphlet.     8  vo.  pp.  20. 

Written  from  the  standpoint  that  everything  pubhshed  con- 
cerning the  Battle  of  Shiloh  is  false,  and  that  the  writer  alone 
is  capable  of  recording  the  truth.  This  pamphlet  consists  of  an 
open  letter  and  three  sections  of  queries,  directed  to  General 
Grant,  dated  '"Five  Oaks,  near  Morrow,  Ohio,  December  8, 
1879." 

These  questions  are  concerning  the  movements  and  operations 
of  the  Union  army  at  Shiloh.  From  their  construction,  it  is 
evident  that  the  writer  intends  to  reflect  on  the  military  capacity 
of  General  Grant.  This  pamphlet  is  written  in  the  same  style 
and  strain  as  the  other  contributions  of  the  writer  to  the  history 
of  the  Civil  War;  all  bearing  evidences  of  personal  grievance.

On  the  9th  of  April,  1864,  Speaker  Colfax  offered  a  resolu- 
tion to  expel  Alexander  Long,  a  Democratic  Congressman  from 
Ohio  for  treasonable  expressions  on  the  floor  of  the  House. 
Among  the  sentiments  uttered  were  "That  the  alternative  was 
now  presented  between  subjugation  and  annihilation,  or  recog- 
nition". This  was  not  approved  by  Mr.  Long's  Democratic  col- 
leagues from  Ohio  and  at  a  meeting  the  following  Ohio  congress- 
men protested  against  the  doctrine  of  recognition  of  the  Southern 
Confederacy ;  viz. :  Messrs.  Bliss,  Noble,  Hutchins,  Johnston, 
LeBlond,  J.  W.  White,  Morris,  Finck,  O'Neill,  Cox  and  Mc-

WOOD  (GEORGE  L.)  465' 

tion  of  expulsion,  but  did  not  indorse  the  principle  of  recogni- 
tion. The  speech  is  a  strong  argument  against  the  moral  or  legal 
right  of  the  House  to  expel  Mr.  Long.    See  "Long,  Alexander."

James  B.  Steedman  and  his  command  in  the  fierce  battle  of 
Chickamauga,  and  his  gallant  support  of  General  Thomas  on 
that  momentous  field. 

General  Steedman  was  born  in  Northumberland  County, 
Pa.,  July  30,  1818.  He  moved  to  Ohio  and  entered  the  State 
legislature  in  1843.  I"  1857  he  was  appointed  Public  Printer 
at  Washington  by  President  Buchanan.  At  the  opening  of  the 
Civil  War  he  became  colonel  of  the  Fourth  Ohio  Regiment.  For 
his  gallant  services  at  Chickamauga,  as  set  forth  in  this  work, 
he  was  commissioned  major  general.  He  served  in  the  At- 
lanta campaign  and  defeated  General  Joseph  Wheeler's  cavalry 
in  June,  1864.  He  was  with  General  Thomas  at  Nashville  while 
Sherman  was  making  his  march  to  the  sea.  After  the  war  he

of  the  "Weekly  Ohio  Democrat."  He  died  at  Toledo,  October 
18,  1883,  and  in  1887  a  monument  was  erected  and  dedicated  to 
his  memory,  as  one  of  Ohio's  most  distinguished  and  gallant 
Generals.

pany C,  81st  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry,  during  the  War 
for  the  maintenance  of  the  Union,  1861-1864.  By  Charles 
Wright,  of  Oxford,  Ohio ;  late  Corporal  Company  C,  81st 
Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry.  With  an  introduction  by  Major 
W.  H.  Chamberlin.  Philadelphia:  James  Beale,  Printer. 
1887. 

Cloth.    8  vo.  pp.  143  and  Appendix  VIII,  with  Illustration. 

A  record  of  what  was  done  and  endured  by  the  private  sol- 
diers during  the  war.  It  does  not  aim  to  give  a  historical  ac- 
count of  campaigns  or  battles,  but  it  pictures  the  everyday  life  of 
the  soldier — his  trials,  hardships,  amusements,  triumphs  and  ex- 
periences. The  author  also  gives  his  observations  of  the  battles 
and  marches  in  which  his  company  participated.

Hon.  David  Tod,  Biography  and  Personal  Recollec- 
tions. By  Geo.  B.  Wright.  Reprinted  from  the  Ohio 
Archaeological  and  Historical  Quarterly.  Columbus:  F.

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  101-125,  with  Full  Page  Portrait  and  Illustrations. 

At  the  breaking  out  of  the  War,  Mr.  Wright  was  Quarter- 
master General  of  the  State,  having  been  appointed  by  Governor 
Dennison.  He  states  that  he  had  never  met  Governor  Tod 
until  introduced  by  the  latter's  predecessor,  and  was  much 
surprised  when  he  was  tendered  a  reappointment.  Having 
accepted,  he  became  intimately  acquainted  with  Governor  Tod. 
and  the  two  co-operated  in  upholding  President  Lincoln's  hands, 
and  in  sending  volunteers  from  Ohio  to  the  front  as  rapidly  as 
they  were  called  for.  The  pamphlet  is  devoted  almost  wholly 
to  the  War  period  and  is  replete  with  interesting  incidents.

ouNG  (Thomas  L.) 

Oration  by  General  Thomas  L.  Young  at 
Spring  Grove  Cemetery,  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  on 
Decoration  Day,  May  30,  1882.  Washington, 
D.  C. :    E.  W.  Oyster,  Globe  Office.    1882. 

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  14. 

A  patriotic  address  the  central  idea  of  which  is  that  this 
government  should  always  remember  its  soldiers  in  the  war  for 
the  Union  by  liberal  pensions.  It  contains  statistics  showing 
that  the  United  States  has  been  true  to  that  idea. 

General  Young  was  born  in  Ireland,  December  14,  1832. 
Came  to  this  country  when  quite  young  and  served  the  last  year 
in  the  War  with  Mexico.  He  taught  school  at  Cincinnati,  Ohio. 
He  entered  the  army  when  the  Civil  War  broke  out  and  was 
brevetted  brigadier  general  at  the  close  of  the  war.  He  was 
elected  to  the  Senate  of  Ohio  in  1871,  and  lieutenant  Governor 
in  1875  with  General  R.  B.  Hayes  as  Governor.  He  became 
governor  when  Governor  Hayes  was  elected  President.  He 
served  in  Congress  in  1878-82,  and  died  at  Cincinnati,  July  20, 
1888.

Pamphlet.    8  vo.  pp.  16. 

The  assassination  of  President  Lincoln  plunged  the  nation 
into  depths  of  mourning  and  almost  into  despair.  Without  re- 
gard to  religious  differences  the  churches  of  the  nation  testified 
to  this  condition.  Funeral  services  and  religious  addresses  pre- 
vailed universally.  This  sermon  is  an  example  of  the  period. 
It  is  filled  with  deep  pathos  and  regret,  and  portrays,  through 
the  sad  event,  the  hand  of  God  in  the  destiny  of  the  Nation,  but 
displays  faith  in  the  future  of  the  Republic.  The  preacher  ex- 
presses the  fullest  confidence  in  Andrew  Johnson  as  the  suc- 
cessor of  Lincoln.
